The decision, announced on Monday, came less than 24 hours after Juventus’ 1–0 defeat to Lazio — a result that further deepened the club’s struggles in Serie A. The Turin giants currently sit eighth in the league standings, six points adrift of joint leaders Napoli and Roma, and three points behind fourth-placed Inter Milan.
The club’s poor domestic form has been compounded by its European campaign, where Juventus has collected only two points from three Champions League fixtures, raising concerns about the team’s competitiveness on both fronts.
In a brief statement, the club confirmed Tudor’s dismissal along with his coaching staff — Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic, and Riccardo Ragnacci — while expressing gratitude for their service.
“Juventus announces that it has today relieved Igor Tudor of his duties as head coach of the men’s first team, along with his staff… The club thanks Igor Tudor and his entire staff for their professionalism and dedication over the past few months and wishes them all the best for their future careers,” the statement read.
Massimo Brambilla, who currently manages Juventus’ reserve side, has been appointed interim head coach and will take charge of Wednesday’s home fixture against Udinese as the club begins its search for a permanent replacement.
Tudor, 47, took over in March following the dismissal of Thiago Motta and initially impressed, guiding the team to fourth place and securing a Champions League spot with five wins from nine matches. His early success earned him a contract extension in June, but the momentum quickly faded as results deteriorated this season.
A former Juventus defender, Tudor represented the club from 1998 to 2007, and previously managed Udinese, Hellas Verona, and Lazio. He also served as assistant coach to Andrea Pirlo during the 2020–21 season — a campaign that ended with both men being dismissed.
As Juventus seeks stability amid mounting pressure, the club’s hierarchy will be looking for a new direction capable of reigniting its competitive spirit at home and in Europe.
