Former Bologna coach leaves after just nine monthsAxe follows heavy defeats by Atalanta and Fiorentina
Juventus have sacked manager Thiago Motta and appointed Igor Tudor as his replacement. The decision comes after Motta guided the club to consecutive heavy defeats in Serie A, losing 4-0 at home to Atalanta and 3-0 away to Fiorentina.
Those losses left Juve fifth in the table, 12 points behind leaders Inter. The 42-year-old’s side were also surprisingly knocked out of the Champions League in the playoff round by PSV Eindhoven in February. Less than a week later, they also exited the Coppa Italia, knocked out by Empoli after a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals.
