Igor Tudor has commenced his role as Juventus head coach, conducting his first training session following the departure of Thiago Motta. However, due to the ongoing international break, Tudor had limited player availability for this initial practice.

Juventus announced on Sunday that Motta had been dismissed and Tudor appointed as interim manager until the conclusion of the 2024-25 season. The transition occurred swiftly, with Motta and his staff clearing out their belongings from Continassa on Monday morning, followed by Tudor’s inaugural session that afternoon.
