Juventus Dismisses Manager Tudor After Winless Streak, Eyes Spalletti Appointment

Juventus has dismissed Igor Tudor following a poor run of results, including an eight-match winless streak and a humiliating loss against Lazio, leaving the club struggling in both Serie A and the Champions League. The club is currently eighth in Serie A and 25th in the Champions League group stage, trailing league leaders Napoli by six points. Juventus is actively searching for a new manager, with Luciano Spalletti and Raffaele Palladino emerging as leading candidates; Spalletti is viewed as a seasoned coach with a history of success in Serie A, including breaking Napoli’s 33-year title drought, while Palladino is noted for his tactical flexibility and recent work at Monza and Fiorentina. Massimiliano Brambilla has been appointed as interim manager for the team's next league match. The decision to sack Tudor, despite backing from some club legends, reflects the board's desire for a fresh direction and improved performance this season. Juventus aims to regain its status as a top Italian club with a new managerial appointment expected soon.
