The Bianconeri club, in deep crisis after yet another defeat – a 1-0 loss to Lazio – has decided to change course. Three losses in a row and four matches without scoring: numbers that convinced the management to dismiss the Croatian coach.

A new chapter now opens at Juve, with Massimo Brambilla ready to temporarily lead the team against Udinese while awaiting the Croatian’s replacement, with Palladino, Spalletti, and Mancini in the running.

Official: Tudor dismissed

“Juventus FC announces that it has relieved Igor Tudor of his duties as head coach of the Men’s First Team, along with his staff composed of Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic, and Riccardo Ragnacci. The technical leadership is temporarily entrusted to Massimiliano Brambilla, who will sit on the bench for the match against Udinese.”

Black crisis: nightmare numbers

Juventus has not won in eight matches and has not scored in four consecutive games.

The negative trend has undermined the locker room’s confidence and cooled the relationship between Tudor and the management, particularly with sporting director Comolli, as revealed by journalist Massimo Moretto on X:

“The frosty relationship between Comolli and the Croatian coach had an impact. The trend on the field did not change and the dismissal came this morning.”

Brambilla in charge (for now)

With the team set to face Udinese in less than 48 hours, the bench has been entrusted to Massimo Brambilla, coach of Juventus Next Gen.

An emergency solution, while awaiting the new coach. Brambilla, highly regarded for his work with young players, will lead the team with the minimum goal of restoring confidence and unity.

Spalletti in pole position

The hottest name is Luciano Spalletti. The coach from Certaldo, currently unattached after his stint as national team manager, is the most intriguing profile on the market.

Two years ago he led Napoli to the league title and his experience could be the perfect mix of charisma and method. However, it remains to be seen whether Spalletti would accept to take over mid-season.

Palladino

Among the candidates is also Raffaele Palladino, who recently left Fiorentina after just twenty days.

The Campanian coach enjoys an excellent relationship with sporting director Francois Modesto, with whom he worked at Monza.

Mancini and the Thiago Motta and Zidane suggestions

There are also heavyweight alternatives: Roberto Mancini, fresh from his experience with Saudi Arabia, is free and interested in returning to a big club. However, he hasn’t managed a club team since 2018 (Zenit).

Fabrizio Romano revealed on his YouTube channel:

"Mancini said no to Nottingham, he would be open to Juve but at the moment there have been no contacts. Zidane has no plans to return mid-season and wants the French national team after the 2026 World Cup."

And then the “internal” suggestion: Thiago Motta, still under contract with Juve until 2027. A sensational but unlikely return, given the stormy farewell and a climate that’s not ideal for a comeback.
