Juventus set to sack head coach Igor Tudor

Juventus are reportedly set to part ways with head coach Igor Tudor following a series of disappointing results that have left the club struggling in Serie A.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano first tweeted that the club was “on the verge of sacking Tudor” after a poor run of games and that formal steps regarding a new manager would follow soon. Later reports indicate the board has decided Tudor will leave, with Massimo Brambilla expected to take charge on an interim basis.

The Croatian coach, once hailed as a club hero, joined Juventus in March 2025 to replace Thiago Motta during a Champions League qualifying crisis. Despite a promising start, the team has gone eight games without a win, including a 2-0 defeat to Lazio over the weekend. Juventus currently sit in eighth place, eight points adrift of the top four.

Players reportedly struggled to respond to Tudor’s fiery approach, which had succeeded at Hajduk Split, and morale within the squad is said to have dropped. Star striker Dusan Vlahovic has scored only twice this season, while midfielder Manuel Locatelli has struggled to influence matches.

Club director Cristiano Giuntoli had publicly backed Igor Tudor just days ago, but the board appears to have agreed unanimously that a change is necessary to salvage the season. Juventus face Udinese next, now under interim management, as they attempt to turn their campaign around.
