This time, it's well and truly over. After the announcement from the Italian press, Juventus made the news official: Igor Tudor was dismissed from his coaching duties. “Juventus FC announces that it has today dismissed Igor Tudor from his duties as coach of the men's first team, as well as his staff composed of Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci. The club also announces that it has temporarily entrusted the management of the men's first team to Massimiliano Brambilla, who will be on the bench on Wednesday evening for the Juventus-Udinese match.»

To replace the Croatian, several options had already been mentioned last week. But according to Sky Italytwo names would clearly emerge. Two coaches free from any contract. The first is Luciano Spalletti. The experienced coach, crowned with Napoli in 2023, has been free since his departure from the Nazionale in June. The Old Lady has already started discussions with the latter, discussions currently focusing on the sporting project and the financial conditions. If negotiations with Spalletti fail, Juventus keeps Roberto Mancini as a fallback. Already approached in the past, the former Italian coach had not reached an agreement with the club due to his contractual demands. At the same time, another track leads to Raffaele Palladino, free since his departure from Fiorentina at the end of last season.
