Sky Sports' resident renowned Italian transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported Thursday that Juventus is considering sacking head coach Igor Tudor.
According to Di Marzio, CEO Damien Comolli's patience with Tudor has almost worn out, and Juventus management is concerned about the club's winless streak since their Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on September 12th.
Comolli is reportedly ready to sack Tudor following I Bianconeri's recent shock loss to dark horse Como.
Di Marzio stated that sporting director Christoph Giuntoli is still trying to keep Tudor in his job.
However, Juventus must win this weekend's match against Lazio, or Giuntoli may be unable to prevent Tudor's sacking.
Regarding online rumours claiming that Juventus might appoint former Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez as head coach, Di Marzio stated that he was only one of the candidates under consideration.
I Bianconeri will likely prioritize local coaches with in-depth knowledge of the Serie A like Luciano Spalletti.
If Tudor is sacked, he would become the third head coach to be sacked by the I Bianconeri since the summer of 2024.
