Juventus dismissed Igor Tudor as the team's coach. Club bosses are looking for a replacement.
Failure against Lazio ended Igor Tudor's tenure on the Juventus bench. The daily newspaper La Stampa reveals that the decision has been made and that only the official announcement is missing. “Igor Tudor is no longer the coach of Juventus. The only thing missing now is the club's official announcement, but the defeat against Lazio, and especially the way it happened, has led the Bianconeri to take this decision.
The Croatian coach was already informed of his sacking late this morning as general manager Damien Comolli, Giorgio Chiellini and François Modesto decide on the next coach. The upcoming training sessions and maybe even Wednesday night's match against Udinese will be entrusted to Massimo Brambilla (no – now the coach of Next Gen, Juve's Primavera)”, writes the newspaper that appears in Turin.
Is Laurent Blanc coming to Juventus? He is free of contract
According to Corriere della Sera, the names circulating for Tudor's succession are Luciano Spalletti, Roberto Mancini and Raffaele Palladino, but only the last one would agree to lead the team (only) until the end of the season: “Spalletti has a better chance than Mancini, but he wants a multi-year contract and a big salary, and the club would find themselves with three coaches on the payroll, Thiago Motta, Tudor and the new coachAfter being dismissed, the first two continue to receive their salary until their contract ends or until they find work.
For the last hour, Laurent Blanc has been proposed to Juventus through an intermediary. The former PSG and France coach last coached Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia in the 2024-25 season. He is out of contract after being sacked last month.
Igor Tudor: “Steps back? No, no, my friend. Steps can only be taken forward…”
On Sunday evening, after the 0-1 draw with Lazio, Igor Tudor declared about his situation: “I don't think about myself. I see everyone asking me these questions, but I don't think about myself.”
Moreover, he claimed that he does not care what will happen: “I live in the present and I don't care about the future. I am clear and aware of the problems that exist. Steps back? No, no, my friend. Steps can only be taken forward…”.
