Juventus have officially fired Thiago Motta as their first-team manager.
Motta has been dismissed less than a season into his tenure.
The 42-year-old Motta has been replaced by Igor Tudor.
Tudor will be tasked with securing fourth place in Serie A, the last qualifying place for the Champions League, which is crucial for Juventus’ fragile finances.
An official statement read: “Juventus FC announce that Thiago Motta has been relieved of his duties as Men’s First Team coach.
“The club would like to thank Thiago Motta and all of his staff for their professionalism and for the work they have carried out in recent months with passion and dedication. The club wish them the best of luck for the future.
“Juventus FC also announce that the Men’s First Team will now be led by Igor Tudor, who will take charge of his first training session tomorrow, Monday, 24 March.”
Juve currently sit in fifth place in the league with only nine matches left to play.
Following an excellent 2023-24 season at the helm of Bologna, Juventus decided to hire Motta.
Under him, the team has played 42 matches in all competitions, winning 18, drawing 16 and losing eight.
Last month, they were eliminated from the Champions League and the Italian Cup, which they had won in 2024, by PSV Eindhoven and Empoli, respectively.
