Juventus FC have officially parted ways with head coach Igor Tudor after a disappointing run of results that left the club drifting in mid-table and far from Serie A title contention.
The Turin giants confirmed the decision in a brief 91-word statement released earlier today, thanking the Croatian manager for his service but admitting that the team’s recent performances were “not aligned with the club’s objectives.”
⚽ Tudor’s Struggles at the Helm
Tudor took over from Massimiliano Allegri earlier this year with the task of rebuilding Juventus into title contenders. However, his short tenure just 24 games in charge has been plagued by inconsistency, tactical confusion, and a lack of attacking edge.
Under Tudor, Juventus managed only eight wins across all competitions, slipping to ninth place in Serie A and crashing out early from the Coppa Italia. A run of four games without victory, including a 0–2 home loss to Atalanta, sealed his fate.
Fans had grown increasingly restless, with the Allianz Stadium crowd audibly voicing frustration during recent fixtures. Reports from Italy suggest dressing-room tension and player dissatisfaction.
🧠 The Club’s Official Statement
“Juventus Football Club announces that Igor Tudor has been relieved of his duties as First Team Coach. The Club thanks Igor for his professionalism and wishes him the best for his future endeavours.”
The concise statement, posted across all Juventus platforms, offered no hint at Tudor’s successor.
🔮 What’s Next for Juventus?
According to multiple Italian sources, Juventus are considering a short-term appointment to stabilise the squad. Former midfielder Thiago Motta and ex-assistant Paolo Montero are among the early favourites to take charge on an interim basis.
Juventus are reportedly targeting a return to European qualification and a more modern, attacking style of play under new leadership. The decision marks another turbulent chapter in the club’s post-Allegri era, with four different managers in just three seasons.
For Igor Tudor, this sacking adds to a growing list of short-lived managerial stints — previously at Verona, Marseille, and Galatasaray raising questions about his long-term project credentials at elite clubs.

- Games Managed: 24

⚔️ Fan Reaction
Juventus supporters on social media expressed mixed feelings some relieved at the decision, others frustrated by the club’s continued instability. “We need identity, not another reset,” one fan wrote on X.
With Serie A tightening at the top and the Champions League race heating up, Juventus must now act quickly to appoint a new leader and restore momentum.
