Juventus officially announced on Monday the dismissal of Croatian coach Igor Tudor after a disappointing streak of performances, appointing Massimo Brambilla as interim head coach of the first team. ⚫⚪
The decision came after the 1-0 defeat to Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, marking eight consecutive games without a win for the Bianconeri.
Brambilla, aged 52, is a former Italian midfielder who represented over ten clubs in Italy and played for the Italian youth national teams, though he never made it to the senior squad. 🇮🇹
After retiring in 2010, he began his coaching career in youth academies at several clubs including Pergocrema, Novara, and Atalanta, where he built a reputation for developing young talents.
In 2022, he took charge of Juventus’ reserve team in Serie C, later managing Foggia briefly before returning to Juventus in 2024 to lead the reserve side again. Today, he has been officially appointed as interim coach for the senior team following Tudor’s departure, with his debut match set for Wednesday against Udinese in Serie A. ⚽
Juventus thanked Tudor and his staff for their professionalism and dedication, wishing them success in their future careers.
According to “Opta,” this marks the first time since the 1969-70 season that Juventus have changed their coach in October, when Luis Carniglia was replaced by Ercole Rabitti, leading the team to a third-place finish that season.
✨ Juventus fans now await to see if Brambilla can revive the team’s spirit or if a new permanent manager will soon be appointed.
