Juventus Sack Igor Tudor After Winless Streak
End of the Road for Tudor
Juventus have officially parted ways with head coach Igor Tudor after a disastrous run of results that left the Italian giants winless in eight games. The 47-year-old’s reign ends just months after he was handed a new long-term contract in the summer.
Tudor, who led Juve to a respectable fourth-place finish last season and secured a Champions League return, couldn’t build on that momentum. His team’s latest 1-0 defeat to Lazio was the final straw.
A Season That Fell Apart
When Tudor took over from Thiago Motta in March, optimism returned to Turin. Juventus rallied late in the season, picking up five wins in nine games to finish strong. But this season’s campaign has been a nightmare — just four goals in eight matches and no victories since August.
The club currently sits eighth in Serie A, far from the standards expected at the Allianz Stadium.
Brambilla Takes Temporary Charge
Until a permanent replacement is found, Massimo Brambilla, who has been managing Juventus Next Gen in Serie C, will step up to lead the first team. His first test? A tricky midweek clash with Udinese.
Brambilla is seen as a steady, internal choice — someone who understands the club’s philosophy and can stabilize a struggling squad.
From Hero to Outcast
Tudor’s story is one of highs and lows in Turin. Once a loyal Juventus defender between 1998 and 2007, he returned as an assistant to Andrea Pirlo in 2020 before taking the head coach role years later. Ironically, both times ended the same way — with a sacking.
For a man who was once part of Juve’s golden years, this latest chapter feels like a harsh reminder that loyalty rarely guarantees longevity in modern football.
