Juventus confirmed on Monday that head coach Igor Tudor has been relieved of his duties following a 1‑0 loss to Lazio, leaving the Bianconeri with just five points from their last five Serie A matches.

In a brief statement on Monday, the club announced that the entire coaching staff — Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci — will also depart.

“Juventus FC announces that it has today relieved Igor Tudor of his duties as head coach of the men’s first team, along with his staff consisting of Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci,” the club said.

“The club thanks Igor Tudor and his entire staff for their professionalism and dedication over the past few months and wishes them all the best for their future careers,” the club added.

Massimiliano Brambilla, currently in charge of the men’s first‑team setup, will take the reins on an interim basis for Wednesday’s Serie A clash against Udinese.

Juventus currently sit eighth in the Serie A table, six points adrift of leaders Napoli, and occupy the 25th spot out of 36 teams in the Champions League after a 1‑draw, 2‑loss start.

The decision comes after an eight‑game winless streak across all competitions, with the team failing to score in the last four fixtures.

The club’s sporting director has indicated that a permanent replacement will be sought, with several candidates under consideration.
