ROME: Italian Serie A side Juventus has announced the dismissal of head coach Igor Tudor and his entire coaching staff.
The club confirmed the decision in an official statement released on Monday.
Tudor’s staff members Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic, and Riccardo Ragnacci have also been relieved of their duties.

The club currently occupies eighth position in the Serie A standings.
Juventus trails league leaders Napoli by a significant margin of six points.
The team ranks 25th among 36 clubs in the ongoing UEFA Champions League league phase.
Massimo Brambilla will assume temporary control as head coach for the upcoming match against Udinese.
Brambilla currently serves as the coach of Juventus Next Gen, the club’s reserve team.
