Juventus show Igor Tudor the door ahead of Benfica clash | OneFootball

The defeat against Real Madrid was the final straw for Igor Tudor's continuity at Juventus. The Croatian coach was dismissed this Monday, October 27, after failing to withstand a horrible series of results in all competitions. Thus, he will no longer be on the bench in the Champions League match against Benfica.

This decision had long been awaited by the Bianconeri fans, who, as the weeks went by, increased their criticism of the Croatian coach and Juventus's poor performances. In the official statement, the Turin club explained that, besides Tudor, the assistants Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic, and Riccardo Ragnacci will also not continue.

In the same note, Juventus informed that Massimo Brambilla will take over, on an interim basis, the reins of the Italian squad, which includes some familiar faces from Portuguese football. Thus, according to what has been determined, the U-23 coach will lead Benfica's opponent in the next match against Udinese, this Wednesday, October 29.

Igor Tudor was in charge of the Bianconeri for only seven months, during which he led the Italians in 24 official matches. In total, the Croatian achieved 10 wins, eight draws, and six losses. However, the final straw was the sequence of results that Juventus had been experiencing since the end of September, as they have not won in Serie A for eight consecutive matches.

Three months before facing Benfica in the Champions League, the "Old Lady" finds itself in eighth place in the league, and its participation in the prestigious competition has also left much to be desired, similar to the Eagles. In three rounds, the Italians have only two points and are in 25th place in the league phase standings.
