Juventus have sacked manager Thiago Motta and appointed Igor Tudor, the Serie A club said on Sunday, following two consecutive heavy defeats in a disappointing season.
Juventus were beaten 3-0 at Fiorentina on March 16 following an embarrassing 4-0 loss at home to Atalanta on March 9, and Motta's side dropped to fifth in the standings, having been overtaken by Bologna. They are 12 points behind leaders Inter Milan.
"Juventus FC announces that it has relieved Thiago Motta of his position as coach of the men's first team," a club statement said.
