Juventus part ways with Igor Tudor after torrid run

Juventus have moved swiftly to relieve Igor Tudor of his duties, ending the Croatian’s seven-month spell in charge after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Lazio finally broke the club’s patience with a damaging run of form.

From spring promise to autumn collapse

Tudor arrived in Turin in March to steady a club in transition, but a bright opening gave way to a bleak slide: an eight-match winless streak across competitions and three straight defeats that left Juventus languishing eighth in Serie A and visibly adrift of the club’s ambitions.

Interim measures and a bruised campaign

The club announced that Massimiliano Brambilla will step up as caretaker for Wednesday’s Serie A clash with Udinese, a stopgap move aimed at arresting the freefall while the board searches for a longer-term solution.

Title hopes and European headaches

Juventus now sit six points behind leaders Napoli and have gone five league matches without a win, while their Champions League campaign is similarly misfiring with just two draws and a defeat from three games—pressure that crystallised the board’s decision to act.

Short, sharp statement from the club

In a terse communiqué the club thanked Tudor and his staff for their professionalism and wished them well for the future, drawing a line under a turbulent chapter and signalling the start of another frantic search for stability at the Allianz Stadium.
