The Croatia international spoke to Sportske Novosti in his homeland after winning the Scudetto.
“We haven’t celebrated properly, as the season is not yet complete and we need to stay focused. We’ll get the chance to have a party on May 14 against Sampdoria.
“The club is organising something at the Juventus Stadium and I think it’s going to be wonderful.
“I knew this was a big club with a fantastic tradition behind it, but unless you get to experience it for yourself, you can’t realise how perfectly the club is organised, the mentality and temperament, which are unique.
“I am really impressed with the organisation here and I have been at other big clubs. Especially during moments of crisis, the directors and staff really protected the squad.”
Mandzukic had some muscular problems this season, but has scored four goals in his last six Serie A games.
“I am very happy here and I feel extraordinary! I had bad luck with injuries, but now I feel great and that is why I’m happy.
“The start was not easy in Turin, as for the first time I had physical problems and was coming face to face with Italian football.
“On top of that we had 10 new players in the squad, so it took time to settle and solidify the team unit. The turning point came after the defeat to Sassuolo, as in the locker room we looked each other in the eye and confronted the issues.
“That’s when I realised this group had character and Juve were going to have a great campaign.”
Mandzukic was also full of praise for Coach Massimiliano Allegri.
“He helped me a great deal. He wanted me at Juve, he was close to me when I wasn’t well and always supported me. If Diego Simeone is a gladiator, then Allegri is a man of character and his results speak for him.
“I want to stay here, 100 per cent. I am happy at Juve and next season we can do even better. The important thing is to maintain the squad and introduce a couple of stars. That way we can fight to win the Champions League.”
