Juventus have sacked manager Igor Tudor in a meeting this morning, according to a report in Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
Tudor, 47, was only appointed in March but he has paid the price for a run of three successive defeats.
The Italian giants have also blanked in four matches in a row, with their last goal coming 394-minutes ago, and they haven't won in eight games.
Juve are languishing in eighth place in Serie A, while they have just two points from three fixtures in the Champions League League Phase.
The report adds that an official announcement from the club is pending, but Tudor has already learned of his fate.
It is expected that Massimo Brambilla, who is in charge of Juventus' Next Gen team, which is effectively the club's reserve team or Under 23s side, will take the reins on an interim basis.

The final straw for Tudor was Sunday's 1-0 defeat by Lazio and his exit comes after a dramatic dip in results over the past month.
Things had begun positively for Tudor, who has also coached the likes of Marseille, Hellas Verona and Udinese, after he replaced Thiago Motta.
Despite a difficult season for the the Italian giants, the Croatian helped them to qualify for the Champions League, an achievement that saw him sign a contract extension until 2028.
Tudor also oversaw Juventus' Club World Cup campaign, but they were knocked out at the last-16 stage by Real Madrid.
After a strong summer transfer window for the club where the likes of Lois Openda and Jonathan David arrived, the 2025-26 season began brilliantly as they won their first three league games, which included a dramatic 4-3 victory over Inter Milan.
However, a run of three points in the following five Serie A matches has changed the mood and Tudor has now been axed.
His exit continues the turbulence around Juventus, who have not won the Italian title for five years after they triumphed for nine successive seasons.
Since their final title in 2019-20, shortly after which Maurizio Sarri left, the club have been through four permanent managers; Andrea Pirlo, Max Allegri, Motta and Tudor.
