Juventus have officially sacked Igor Tudor and are now searching for a new leader to revive their season.
Juventus have parted ways with Igor Tudor, ending a short but turbulent chapter in the club’s season. The decision came after a string of poor results that left the Bianconeri winless for over 40 days.
Since their last victory, a 2-1 win over Inter Milan on September 13 Juventus have recorded five draws and three consecutive defeats, failing to score a single goal in their last three matches.
Tudor, who had been retained after securing Champions League qualification earlier this year, was unable to translate his early promise into consistent performances. The latest defeat to Lazio proved to be the final straw for the club’s board, who decided it was time for a change before the season slipped further away.
The Croatian coach arrived in March with the task of restoring energy and direction to a team that had lost both. His impact was initially positive, helping Juve secure a top-four finish and a place in the next Champions League. That success earned him a contract extension until 2027, with an option for 2028, signaling the club’s confidence in his project.
However, the new season told a different story. Juventus quickly fell into a spiral of predictable football, tactical confusion, and offensive impotence. Fans and pundits alike criticized the lack of clear identity and attacking ideas, as the team struggled to impose itself in Serie A and in Europe. By the end, Tudor appeared out of solutions and out of time.
In the meantime, Massimo Brambilla, head coach of Juventus Next Gen, will step in as interim manager while the board evaluates long-term options. Among the leading candidates are Luciano Spalletti and Roberto Mancini, both former managers of the Italian national team, though the club is reportedly considering other profiles as well.
The next appointment will be crucial. After weeks of frustration and fading ambition, Juventus are desperate to rediscover their competitive edge — and their identity. The Tudor experiment has officially ended, and in Turin, there’s no room left for missteps.
