On October 27, 2025, Juventus FC announced the sacking of Igor Tudor after an eight-game winless streak across Serie A and Europe, with the Croatian manager and his assistants Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic, and Riccardo Ragnacci relieved of their duties. The club swiftly appointed Massimo Brambilla, the Juventus Next Gen coach, as interim manager—a move signaling not only a break from Tudor’s philosophy but also an urgent attempt to restore stability and continuity.

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals.
This is what occurred.
France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt.
In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time.
After a poor start, France improved just before the interval, with Loïc Badé hitting the post after Joris Chotard's pass.
Alexandre Lacazette had a golden opportunity to score in the second half, but he hesitated and ultimately missed the shot.
After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net.
The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header.
France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork.
Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively.
France requested for a penalty for handball, and after a lengthy VAR review, it was determined that no penalty would be issued.
Omar Fayed received a yellow card for his complaints before the referee checked the VAR screen, and he received another yellow card for a foul in extra time, leaving Egypt with 10 men.
