Di Canio Slams Tudor Over Vicario Benching: 'He Destroyed Vicario, Left Him Exposed; Will Cost His Career!'
Former Italian international Paolo Di Canio has launched a severe attack on Tottenham manager Igor Tudor following his controversial decision to bench goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Di Canio's criticism stems from Tottenham's recent Champions League encounter where they suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat against Atlético Madrid in the Spanish capital. According to Di Canio, Tudor's choice to exclude Vicario was disastrous: "He destroyed Vicario, he was left completely exposed," Di Canio stated, implying the move put the player in a vulnerable position. The outspoken pundit further warned that this particular decision "will cost Tudor his career at the highest levels," highlighting the long-term professional consequences for the manager.
