Flooring Guide by Cinvex – , TURIN – Juventus Football Club officially announced the dismissal of head coach Igor Tudor and three members of his staff on Monday, October 27, 2025.

In an official statement released by the club, Juventus confirmed, “Juventus FC announces that as of today, the club has relieved Igor Tudor of his duties as head coach of the men’s first team, along with his staff members Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic, and Riccardo Ragnacci.” The statement further conveyed the club’s appreciation, “The club extends its gratitude to Igor Tudor and all his staff for the professionalism and dedication shown over the past few months, and wishes them the very best in their future careers.”

As of now, Juventus has not yet named a permanent successor for Tudor. Consequently, former Juventus player Massimo Brambilla will step in as interim coach for the upcoming match against Udinese on Thursday, October 30, 2025. Tudor, who himself is a former Juve player, took the helm of the Bianconeri in March 2025, stepping in to replace Thiago Motta before the conclusion of the 2024/2025 season.

This season, Igor Tudor managed Juventus for a total of 11 matches, comprising eight fixtures in Italy’s top flight, Serie A, and three crucial encounters in the UEFA Champions League. However, his coaching tenure at the club was plagued by extremely poor results. The formidable Juventus side failed to secure a single victory in their last eight outings across all competitions, a statistic that ultimately sealed his fate.

This dismal run has seen the club plummet to a disheartening eighth position in the temporary Serie A standings, accumulating a mere 12 points. The pressure mounted intensely following three consecutive defeats. These losses included a 0-2 setback against Como, a 0-1 defeat to formidable opponents Real Madrid in the Champions League, and culminated in a crucial 0-1 loss against Lazio.

Following the defeat to Lazio, Tudor had publicly stated that he was not overly concerned about his future at Juventus. However, the management of “The Old Lady,” as Juventus is affectionately known, swiftly took firm action, bringing an end to the former central defender’s time at the helm.
