Juventus Sack Igor Tudor After Lazio Loss

Juventus has dismissed head coach Igor Tudor following a 0–1 Serie A defeat to Lazio, with the club’s management citing the need for a change after a string of poor results. According to Fabrizio Romano, Tudor has been officially informed of his sacking by the Juventus board. Massimo Brambilla will serve as interim coach while the club evaluates candidates for a permanent replacement. The loss to Lazio was Tudor’s third consecutive defeat, extending Juventus’ winless streak to eight matches. The team has struggled to find consistency, with difficulties both in attack and defense. Reports suggest that Italian manager Raffaele Palladino could be considered as Tudor’s successor, potentially taking over for the remainder of the season if the board approves the appointment.

Juventus sacks manager Thiago Motta

Juventus have sacked head coach Thiago Motta less than a season into his tenure and moved quickly to line up his replacement. Motta, 42, was officially informed of his dismissal by the club’s hierarchy on Sunday after a nightmare run of results and has been replaced by Igor Tudor. Tudor, whose last managerial role came at Serie A rivals Lazio, will take charge for the rest of the season with Champions League qualification crucial in determining whether his deal is extended. He will oversee his first training session on Monday.
