Out of the Champions League and far up to the top in Serie A. That's when Juventus acts.

Coach Thiago Motta gets fired and is replaced by Igor Tudor.

The 46-year-old Croat has a past both as a player and assistant coach in the Italian giant club. His latest coaching assignment was in Lazio.

Motta gets to go before he has time to complete his first season as head coach.

The pressure has been hard on Motta after the elimination from the Champions League and after two straight league losses, the club management is now taking action.

Juventus is fifth in Serie A, twelve points behind league-leading Inter.
