Igor Tudor: Juventus sack coach after eight-match winless run

Juventus have parted ways with manager Igor Tudor following a string of poor results, culminating in a recent defeat to Lazio.

The Croatian, who took the helm in March as a replacement for Thiago Motta, has been dismissed after only 24 matches in charge. His tenure was marred by an eight-game winless streak that saw the club plummet to eighth place in the Serie A standings.

The loss against Lazio on Sunday marked the team's third consecutive defeat across all competitions, prompting the club's management to act.

"The club thanks Igor Tudor and his entire staff for their professionalism and dedication over the past few months and wishes them all the best for their future careers," Juventus announced in a formal statement.

In the interim, Massimiliano Brambilla will assume control for the upcoming Serie A fixture against Udinese on Wednesday.

The Old Lady's recent form has been troubling, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last five league outings, leaving them six points adrift of league leaders Napoli.

Their European campaign has also been disappointing, with Juventus sitting 25th in the Champions League group stage after two draws and a loss in their first three matches.
