Igor Tudor had tense meeting with players before Juventus sacking

The sacking of Igor Tudor by Juventus today was foreshadowed by explosive scenes in the dressing room during the half-time break of yesterday’s fatal 1-0 defeat to Lazio.

TuttoMercatoWeb (TMW) reports a major backstage scoop, revealing that “tense moments” occurred between Tudor and several players in the dressing room at the Stadio Olimpico. The defeat to Lazio was the third consecutive loss for the Bianconeri across Serie A and Champions League fixtures, making it the final straw for the hierarchy.

While the incident is not considered the single “drop that broke the camel’s back,” the report confirms it underscores the deep unrest, dissatisfaction, and internal turmoil that has plagued the Juventus camp in recent weeks, ultimately leading to Tudor’s official dismissal today after just 24 games in charge.

The club has since placed youth team coach Massimiliano Brambilla in temporary charge for the upcoming match against Udinese as they scramble to name a permanent successor.
