Juventus have sacked Thiago Motta after nine months in charge, following a 4-0 loss to Atalanta and 3-0 defeat to Fiorentina.

With the sacking of Thiago Motta, Juventus have ended his nine-month tenure following a disappointing run of results. Motta, who was appointed last summer after guiding Bologna to their first Champions League qualification in 60 years, failed to replicate that success in Turin. Juventus suffered back-to-back Serie A defeats, a 4-0 thrashing by Atalanta and a 3-0 loss to Fiorentina, leading to his dismissal.
Currently, Juventus sit fifth in the Serie A table with 52 points from 29 matches, struggling to secure a Champions League spot. Their European campaign also ended early after a 4-3 aggregate loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League play-off round. The club officially announced Motta’s exit and expressed gratitude for his efforts.

To stabilize the season, Juventus appointed former Marseille coach and club legend Igor Tudor as interim manager until the end of the 2024-25 season. Tudor will begin his tenure with a crucial match against Genoa on March 29 after the international break. The management hopes Tudor can salvage their campaign, with European qualification still at stake. Juventus’ decision reflects the club’s high standards and urgent need for results in the final stretch of the season.
