Juventus have sacked head coach Igor Tudor after going eight matches without a win in all competitions, the club confirmed on Monday.

In an official statement, the Serie A side said:“Juventus FC announces that it has today relieved Igor Tudor of his duties as coach of the men’s first team, along with his staff.”

The club also confirmed that Massimo Brambilla, current head coach of Juventus’ reserve team, will temporarily take charge of the senior squad.

Tudor, who replaced Thiago Motta in March, was the club’s first foreign manager since Didier Deschamps in the 2006–07 season. He guided Juventus to a fourth-place finish in Serie A last season, securing Champions League qualification in the process.

However, the team’s form declined sharply in recent weeks. After starting the season with three consecutive league victories, Juventus went on to draw five straight games before suffering three defeats in a single week – against Como, Real Madrid, and Lazio.

The club thanked Tudor and his coaching staff for their professionalism and commitment and wished them well in their future careers.

Juventus, who have failed to score in their last four matches, currently sit eighth in Serie A, six points behind leaders Napoli. They are next in action on Wednesday, when they host Udinese.
