Juventus has made its decision! Thiago Motta is out, and Igor Tudor has taken the helm at Allianz Stadium. The club’s management recently assessed that keeping the Italo-Brazilian coach could be counterproductive and further jeopardize the Bianconeri’s chances of securing a Champions League spot and the guaranteed 65 million euros in revenue that comes with it.It wasn’t just the two heavy consecutive defeats against Atalanta and Fiorentina—where Motta’s team conceded seven goals without scoring—that led to this decision, but also the atmosphere that had taken over the club and Continassa in recent days. Motta’s training approach became increasingly radical, which resulted in ten players leaving Continassa.Motta did it all wrong at JuventusIt was only a matter of time before the Italian giant formalized a deal with the Croatian coach until the end of the season, without a clause for a potential extension. If Juventus qualifies for the Champions League, both parties will sit down again at the end of the season to negotiate.According to some reports from Italy, due to financial considerations, Motta could remain until April 1, meaning he would part ways with Turin next Saturday when Juventus hosts Genoa.Tudor has already worked at Juventus as part of the coaching staff during the 2020/21 season, serving as Andrea Pirlo’s assistant before taking on head coaching roles at Verona, Marseille, and Lazio. However, he never stayed in one place for more than a season, with his shortest stint being in Rome, where he led the Biancocelesti for only 11 matches.Juventus have replaced Thiago Motta with Igor Tudor as head coach.Tudor won five trophies with Juve as a player ⚫⚪ pic.twitter.com/uIsOCnUndc— B/R Football (@brfootball) March 23, 2025 Like Juventus now, Lazio also appointed him after mid-March. Under challenging circumstances, Tudor delivered a solid performance, securing five wins, three draws, and one loss, collecting 18 out of a possible 27 points. However, after just three months, he parted ways with Lazio due to disagreements with the club’s hierarchy over transfer policy.##NAJAVA_MECA_8799842##
