Juventus Football Club has announced the termination of head coach Igor Tudor’s contract after a disappointing eight-match winless run across all competitions. The decision was made public on Monday, with the club confirming that Tudor and his coaching staff have been relieved of their duties. Massimo Brambilla, the head coach of the reserve team, will step in as interim manager for the first team. Tudor, a former Juventus player who spent nearly a decade at the club, was appointed as head coach in March, succeeding Thiago Motta. He became the first foreign manager to lead Juventus since Didier Deschamps in the 2006-07 season. Despite guiding the team to a fourth-place finish in Serie A last season and securing Champions League qualification, Juventus’ performance has significantly declined in recent weeks. After a strong start with three consecutive league victories, the team has since drawn five matches and suffered three consecutive defeats to Como, Real Madrid, and Lazio. Tudor acknowledged the team’s struggles in a post-match interview following the loss to Lazio, stating, ‘We prepared well, but something is still missing. There’s no need to dramatize; we’re all responsible for this difficult period.’ Juventus, currently eighth in the Serie A standings and six points behind leaders Napoli, will face Udinese on Wednesday as they aim to turn their season around.
