<p>Juventus have officially dismissed <a target="_blank" href="https://gistreel.com/tag/thiago-motta"><strong>Thiago Motta</strong></a> after just eight months in charge, naming <a target="_blank" href="https://gistreel.com/tag/igor-tudor"><strong>Igor Tudor</strong></a> as interim manager until the end of the season.</p>
<p>The club confirmed Motta’s departure in a statement on Monday, thanking him and his staff for their dedication.</p>

<p>Despite previous assurances from director Cristiano Giuntoli that Motta would remain in charge, the decision was made during the international break following a poor run of results.</p>
<p>Motta’s tenure saw Juventus crash out of the Champions League playoffs, exit the Coppa Italia in the quarter-finals against Empoli, and lose the Supercoppa Italiana to AC Milan.</p>
<p>His side also slipped to fifth in Serie A after heavy defeats to <strong>Atalanta</strong> (4-0) and Fiorentina (3-0), allowing Bologna to overtake them in the standings.</p>
<p>Tudor, a former Juventus defender (1998-2007) and assistant coach under Andrea Pirlo in 2020-21, now steps in to steady the ship.</p>
<p>The 46-year-old most recently managed Lazio, taking over from Maurizio Sarri in March 2024 before departing at the season’s end.</p>
<p>Juventus have the option to extend his stay beyond this campaign.</p>
