Ghanaian duo Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Nicholas Opoku to work under Igor Tudor at Italian Serie A side Udinese.

The Zebrette have officially brought back former Juventus defender Igor Tudor for a second spell as coach.

The Croatian return was confirmed by Udinese on Wednesday and comes just hours after Davide Nicola’s dismissal.

Tudor, who took his first training session in the afternoon and will be presented on Thursday morning, kept the side in Serie A last season with two wins and a draw from four games.

Udinese have won just twice since the turn of the year, leaving them only a point above the drop zone.

Opoku has featured in 10 games since joining the side in the summer from Tunisian side Club African.

Agyemang-Badu meanwhile is yet to play due to injury.
