Juventus are facing one of their darkest periods in recent years, and Igor Tudor’s position as head coach is now under growing scrutiny following the side’s latest loss to Lazio. The 1–0 defeat in Rome marked the team’s third consecutive loss across Serie A and the Champions League—and their eighth straight match without victory.
A Crisis Too Big to Ignore
The numbers tell a brutal story. Eight games without a win, three consecutive defeats, and no goals in four matches have plunged Juventus into full-blown crisis. The club now sit eighth in Serie A and a shocking 25th in the Champions League unified ranking. With performances this poor, every scenario regarding Tudor’s tenure appears possible.
IlBianconero report that the situation is being closely monitored within the club hierarchy, with serious discussions expected over the coming days. The Croatian coach’s position is increasingly fragile, and while no final decision has yet been taken, the mood in Turin grows tenser by the match.
Likely to Stay for the Udinese Clash
With another Serie A fixture arriving in just 48 hours against Udinese, a sudden managerial change appears unlikely in the immediate term. Barring dramatic developments, Tudor is expected to remain on the bench for that match, tasked with ending a winless streak that stretches back to 13 September.
A victory could still buy him precious time, but patience within the club is wearing thin.
Financial Factors Complicate Decisions
Juventus are weighing all elements carefully—sporting, strategic, and financial. Sacking Tudor now would be an expensive move. The coach is under contract until June 2027, and the club is still paying former coach Thiago Motta for two more seasons. Appointing another new manager would mean having three coaches on the payroll at once, a scenario the club is understandably reluctant to embrace.
Deadline Set Before the November Break
For now, the direction seems to be “move forward together”—but only up to a point. The coming weeks will be decisive: Juventus face Udinese at home, Cremonese away, then two key home fixtures against Sporting and Torino before the November international break.
These four matches are set to determine Tudor’s fate. Without a clear turnaround, a change on the bench could become not just a possibility but a necessity.
