Juventus sack manager Tudor after seven months

Juventus has parted ways with manager Igor Tudor following a disappointing run of results, culminating in a defeat to Lazio on Sunday. The Croatian coach, who took over in March as a replacement for Thiago Motta, has struggled to turn the team’s fortunes around, overseeing an eight-match winless streak that has left the club languishing in eighth place in Serie A. The loss to Lazio marked Juventus’ third consecutive defeat across all competitions, prompting the club to make a decisive change. In a statement, Juventus expressed gratitude for Tudor’s professionalism and dedication during his tenure, wishing him and his staff success in their future endeavors. Massimiliano Brambilla has been appointed as the interim manager and will lead the team in their upcoming Serie A clash against Udinese on Wednesday. Currently, Juventus trails league leaders Napoli by six points and has failed to secure a victory in their last five league matches. Their struggles extend to the Champions League, where they sit 25th in the group stage table after one loss and two draws in their opening three games. The decision to sack Tudor underscores the mounting pressure on the club to regain its competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions.
