Juventus sack Igor Tudor after winless start, appoint Massimo Brambilla as interim manager

Italian giants Juventus have sacked head coach Igor Tudor after a disastrous start to the 2025–26 Serie A season, as confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on October 27, 2025. The decision comes just weeks into Tudor’s tenure, following a winless run that plunged the club into crisis and deepened frustration among fans and executives alike.

Tudor, who returned to Turin amid hopes of stabilizing a team in transition, failed to deliver immediate results. Juventus currently languish in the lower half of the Serie A table, a position unthinkable for a club with their pedigree. The poor performances, coupled with disjointed play and visible dressing-room tension, reportedly forced the board to act swiftly before further damage was done.

In an official statement, Juventus confirmed that Massimo Brambilla, previously in charge of the club’s Next Gen (U23) side, will step in as interim manager while the board evaluates long-term options. The move is seen as a stopgap measure as Juventus explore potential replacements, with reports suggesting Thiago Motta—who left Bologna earlier this year—remains a leading candidate to make a sensational return.

Tudor’s dismissal marks yet another chapter in Juventus’ turbulent managerial carousel. According to club records, his short-lived spell is the third managerial change in less than two years, following earlier shake-ups that reflected growing instability both on and off the pitch.

Supporters have expressed mixed reactions—some applauding the decision as necessary to revive the team’s form, while others lament the lack of continuity that has plagued the Bianconeri since the post-Allegri era.

As Juventus prepare for their next fixture under Brambilla, the club faces mounting pressure to rediscover its identity and reignite its pursuit of Champions League qualification. For a team synonymous with dominance, Tudor’s exit is a stark reminder that Juventus’ rebuild remains far from complete.
