Juventus Fires Thiago Motta, Appoints Igor Tudor as Coach

Juventus has sacked head coach Thiago Motta after a disappointing season, appointing former player Igor Tudor as his replacement. Motta's brief tenure included a series of heavy defeats in both domestic and European competitions, leading to dissatisfaction among fans and players. Despite initial hopes following his successful stint at Bologna, Motta's inability to secure consistent results, including 13 draws and early exits from both the Champions League and Coppa Italia, prompted the club's decision. Tudor, who has prior experience with Juventus and has coached several teams, is tasked with leading the club to a top-four finish in Serie A to secure Champions League qualification. The Croatian manager signed on a temporary basis, with a potential extension depending on his performance. Juventus currently sits fifth in the league, just one point behind Bologna.
