Juventus Football Club has made the shock decision to part ways with manager Igor Tudor after just 24 games in charge, following a string of disappointing results that culminated in a 1-0 defeat to Lazio in Serie A. The club announced the decision in a blunt and concise statement, signaling their frustration with the team's performance during Tudor's brief tenure. The sacking comes on the heels of an alarming eight-game winless streak across all competitions, a run that has seen the Turin giants plummet in both domestic and European standings. Juventus, historically one of Italy’s most dominant clubs, have struggled to find form under Tudor, with their latest losses exposing frailties in the squad and raising questions about the Croatian manager’s tactics and leadership. The tipping point appears to be Juventus’ recent string of defeats, including a 2-0 loss to newly-promoted Como, a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, and the 1-0 loss to Lazio. These results have left Juventus languishing in the Serie A table and facing an uphill battle in Europe, prompting the board to act swiftly. Tudor, who took over the reins at Juventus with high expectations, has been unable to replicate the success of his predecessors or stabilize the squad. His tenure, which began earlier this season, was marked by inconsistent performances and growing unrest among fans, who have grown accustomed to silverware and dominance. Massimo Brambilla will be the interim coach ahead of club’s decision on new manager as the club look set to move quickly to appoint a new manager to salvage their season. Names like Max Allegri, who previously led the club to multiple Serie A titles, and other high-profile coaches are already being linked with the vacant position. Luciano Spalletti and Raffaele Palladino are also among main options being considered by Juventus DG Damien Comolli. The pressure is now on Juventus’ board to make the right appointment and steer “The Old Lady” back to winning ways, with fans desperate for a return to the club’s storied success.
