Speaking about Tudor’s impact and future at the club, Cambiaso praised the manager's role during a challenging phase, saying: "The coach achieved the objective of the Champions League, deserving confirmation, and he presented himself very well with us, helping us in a delicate moment in which there was no time to experiment.

Now it will be different, we will do the preparation with him and we will be able to work more tactically. We have already smelled something. We are all very happy to move forward with him."
