WEBDESK: Juventus has officially sacked Thiago Motta following a string of poor performances in Serie A, on Monday. The decision comes after heavy defeats to Atalanta and Fiorentina, which left the club struggling in fifth place. Juventus has now appointed former player Igor Tudor as his replacement, hoping to turn things around before the season ends.
Thiago Motta joined Juventus in June 2024 after an impressive spell at Bologna. Many expected him to bring fresh tactics and stability to the squad, but his tenure quickly turned into a disappointment. A crushing 4-0 loss to Atalanta followed by a 3-0 defeat at Fiorentina was the final straw for the club’s management, leading to his dismissal.
Juventus has now turned to Igor Tudor, a former defender who has previously managed teams like Lazio and Hellas Verona. Tudor will lead the team until the end of the season, with a chance of securing a longer contract if he can guide Juventus back into the Champions League qualification spots. Reports suggest he will switch from Thiago Motta’s 4-2-3-1 system to a 3-4-2-1 formation to improve results.
Juventus fans have mixed reactions to the change. Some believe Thiago Motta wasn’t given enough time, while others think a new approach is necessary. Tudor’s first challenge will be against Genoa, where he will try to prove that Juventus made the right choice.
With only a few matches left, the club is hoping for a turnaround under Tudor’s leadership. Juventus’ decision to sack Thiago Motta highlights the pressure and expectations at a top club like theirs. Whether this move pays off remains to be seen.
