Juventus have dismissed head coach Igor Tudor following a poor run of results that has left the club eighth in Serie A, Afrosport reports.
The decision came after Sunday’s 1–0 defeat to Lazio — their eighth game without a win and fourth straight match without scoring.
Tudor, who took charge in March after replacing Thiago Motta, departs just seven months into the job. The Croatian was initially praised for guiding Juventus to a fourth-place finish last season, securing Champions League qualification.
However, the team’s strong start this campaign — three straight league victories — quickly faded into frustration as their form collapsed.
In a short statement, Juventus confirmed Tudor’s dismissal along with his backroom staff: “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 consisting of Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci.”
Igor Tudor is no longer Juventus’ head coach.

The 47-year-old oversaw 24 matches in charge, registering 10 wins, eight draws, and six defeats. Despite occasional flashes of promise, Juventus have struggled for consistency and creativity in attack. Their goal drought, defensive errors, and failure to win a Champions League match this season have left the hierarchy with little patience.
According to Italian media, Juventus officials have already begun exploring long-term replacements, with former Italy boss Roberto Mancini and ex-Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti among those linked.
For now, reserve-team coach Massimo Brambilla will take interim charge for Wednesday’s league game against Udinese. The Bianconeri also play Cremonese, Sporting and Torino before the November international break.
