Juventus Appoints Igor Tudor as Head Coach After Dismissing Thiago Motta

The leadership change comes during the international break as Juventus seeks to secure a top-four Serie A finish and Champions League qualification.

Igor Tudor, a former Juventus player, has been officially named head coach, replacing Thiago Motta, who struggled to deliver results since his appointment in July 2024.
Juventus is currently in 5th place in Serie A, following heavy defeats to Atalanta and Fiorentina, and has been eliminated from both the Champions League and Coppa Italia this season.
Tudor has signed a contract until the end of the season, with an option to extend until June 2026, and is tasked with improving team performance and morale.
Juventus management strategically made the coaching change during the international break to address the team's poor form before the final stretch of the season.
Qualifying for the Champions League is a critical objective for the club's financial stability, making a top-four finish in Serie A Tudor's immediate priority.
