"Juventus have sacked their head coach, Igor Tudor, after failing to win their last eight matches in all competitions, the Serie A club said on Monday. 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 Italian club said in a statement, a day after their 1-0 defeat to Lazio. Massimo Brambilla, head coach of the reserve team, will temporarily take over as the first team manager, the club added."
"Tudor, who replaced Thiago Motta in March, was the first foreign manager appointed by Juventus since Didier Deschamps in 2006-07. The former centre-back spent nearly a decade of his playing career at Juventus, during which they won Serie A twice and reached the final of the Champions League. Tudor guided Juventus to a fourth-place finish in Serie A last season and secured qualification for the Champions League."
"But the club's form took a downturn last month after winning their first three league games. Juve drew five successive matches in all competitions before slumping to three losses in a week to Como, Real Madrid and Lazio. I think we prepared for the match in the right way, but we're still missing something, Tudor said after Sunday's loss at Lazio. There's no need to dramatise the situation, we're all responsible for this difficult period."
Juventus relieved Igor Tudor and his staff after the team failed to win their last eight matches across competitions, including a 1-0 loss to Lazio. Reserve-team coach Massimo Brambilla will serve as interim first-team manager. Tudor took charge in March, became the club's first foreign manager since 2006-07, and spent nearly a decade at the club as a player, winning two Serie A titles and reaching a Champions League final. He led Juventus to fourth place and Champions League qualification last season. The club endured a downturn after three early wins, drawing five straight and suffering three losses to Como, Real Madrid and Lazio. Juventus have not scored in four matches and sit eighth, six points behind Napoli, with an upcoming home match against Udinese.
