The decision comes after the dismissal of Igor Tudor, following the 1-0 defeat against Lazio at the Olimpico. The Bianconeri club announced the decision with an official statement, entrusting the bench to someone who, until today, successfully led Juventus Next Gen, the team competing in Serie C.

But who really is Brambilla, the man called to steer Juve through a delicate moment?

🧠 From the youth teams to the Bianconeri dream

Massimo Brambilla, born in 1973, is from Vimercate, in the province of Monza. After a playing career that began at Monza, with over 400 appearances between Serie A and Serie B, he wore the jerseys of Reggiana, Parma, Bologna, Torino, Siena, Cagliari, and Mantova, also collecting 17 caps with the Italy Under-21 team.

After ending his playing career in 2007, Brambilla passionately dedicated himself to coaching, becoming an expert in youth football. After experiences with the youth sector of Novara, he joined Atalanta, where he led the Under-17 and Primavera teams, contributing to the growth of several Nerazzurri talents.

In 2022, Juventus called him for the Next Gen, with a stint at Foggia in 2024, before returning to Turin and the current "temporary" promotion to the first team.

💎 The talents launched by Brambilla

Among the players who have flourished under the Lombard coach's guidance is Kenan Yildiz, now a key player for Juventus in Serie A. The Turk made his professional debut on December 17, 2022 against Virtus Verona, then scored his first goal on September 23, 2023 against Ancona.

But the list doesn't end there: Dean Huijsen, now at Real Madrid after a loan at Bournemouth, took his first steps among the pros with Brambilla. And also Nicolò Savona, Samuel Mbangula, and Vasilije Adzic, all of whom grew technically and mentally under his guidance.

📊 The three precedents: when Juve launched its "rookies"

This is not the first time Juventus has entrusted the bench to a coach debuting in Serie A.

Before Brambilla, three other coaches had the same debut in the new millennium:

Now it is up to Massimo Brambilla to take on the challenge and write his page in Bianconeri history, with the debut at the Allianz Stadium against Udinese.
