Ilditz recently accepted an interview with the media and talked about Tudor.

Tudor is getting closer and closer to staying as Juventus coach and will continue to coach even after the Club World Cup. Juventus' new general manager Damian Comooli and Chiellini have expressed their hope to continue working with the Croatian coach next season.

Tudor took over the team after Mota was dismissed, leading the team to regain the Champions League qualification and secured fourth place in Serie A. During the national team training camp, the players also expressed their respect for him.

Ilditz has become the core of Juventus' tactics again under Tudor. When talking about his mentor, he said: "He is an extraordinary person and has greatly helped me as a coach. We are all very happy to work with him."

Ilditz also talked about the qualification for the Champions League: "As Juventus, it is our obligation to participate in the Champions League. We have done our best to achieve this goal. As a Juventus player, we will not consider participating in other events. As a football fan since childhood, I am excited whenever I hear the theme song of the Champions League. The hair is standing upright, this is the stage I dream of. The feeling of wearing the No. 10 jersey is unparalleled, this is a jersey carrying history. I will continue to work hard and do my best. Every player's dream is to win the Golden Ball Award, and I will always strive for it."

Ilditz finally talked about his compatriot Carhanoglu's Champions League final with Inter Milan: "They reached the final twice in three years, which is a huge achievement. But they are not lucky. No one could have expected such a result before the game."
