"Juventus represent a case study in what not to do, but also serve as a reminder that poor decisions in the recent past impact the present and the future, narrowing the ability of replacements to make optimal choices. Their next managerial move will determine if they descend further down their spiral, or if they finally start to rid their system of the poisons built up over the years."
"Tudor took over as an interim boss in March of last year, replacing Thiago Motta. (The latter was a horrendous choice who stuck around too long.) They were one point out of the Champions League places in Serie A and his brief was to steer them into the top four, which he did (by a point)."
"Tudor paid the price not just for his own mistakes, but also those made by the guys who came before him. Not just coaches either, everyone from sporting directors to chief executives is, to varying degrees, responsible. As, of course, are many of the players."
Juventus dismissed Igor Tudor after a 1-0 loss to Lazio, with no immediate replacement confirmed and candidates reportedly including Luciano Spalletti and Raffaele Palladino. The club has appointed six permanent managers in six years, reflecting chronic instability. Responsibility for the current crisis extends beyond coaches to sporting directors, executives and players. Tudor had initially secured a Champions League–qualifying finish as interim manager, but executive turnover—Cristiano Giuntoli leaving and Damien Comolli arriving—left decision-making fragmented. Upcoming managerial choices will either deepen the decline or begin to remove long-standing structural problems that have constrained optimal decision-making.
