Juventus has confirmed the termination of head coach Igor Tudor's contract following a prolonged period of poor performance, marking the end of his seven-month tenure at the club. The Croatian manager, who took over in March as a successor to Thiago Motta, was unable to reverse the team's fortunes, leading to a sequence of eight matches without a victory. This includes a recent defeat against Lazio, which extended their losing run to three straight games across all competitions.

In a statement, Juventus expressed gratitude for Tudor's "professionalism and dedication," while announcing that interim manager Massimiliano Brambilla will assume control for the upcoming Serie A clash against Udinese on Wednesday at 17:30 GMT. The club currently sits eighth in the Serie A table, six points behind Napoli, and has endured five consecutive league draws. Additionally, Juventus remains in 25th place in the Champions League group stage after recording one loss and two draws in their initial three matches.
