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. Tudor’s tenure lasted only 24 games—the shortest for any non-acting Juventus manager in the club’s modern era. This rapid turnover intensified scrutiny of the club’s overall direction, casting a spotlight on the broader issues plaguing both the coaching staff and the technical leadership.

Reds suffer their first defeat of the season in unexpected fashion.
Arne Slot was "frustrated" by his Liverpool side's "hardly creating any chances" in their 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday.Slot suffered his first setback as Reds manager, as Callum Hudson-Odoi scored the game's sole goal for the visitors midway through the second half.
Liverpool entered the game with three wins in a row and had not allowed a goal in the Premier League season, but they returned from the international break to deliver their poorest performance of the season.
"The result is the most frustrating, and we can't be happy with how the game went," he stated afterwards. "It was a stop-start game, and we barely produced any opportunities.
"We only have to look at ourselves; we have to improve. We lost the ball far too often in this region. It wasn't good enough. We need to improve our ballhandling.
"We did not make sound decisions or execute them properly. In general, we defended effectively, but the two quick players [Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga] came on and made things difficult. We took many risks, but the ultimate result was a very good goal."
After conceding his first goal of the season, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson criticized Forest's attitude to the game.
"It was a shame," he commented. "Losing points at home is never ideal, but our opponent today solely wanted to defend and play for the long ball.
"We made it too easy for them when they scored. We did not play well defensively. We couldn't produce much today because we lacked quality and required more energy. We lost three points today unintentionally.
As he continued: "All the opportunities we had were not clear enough and they defended great, they threw themselves in front of the ball."
