Breaking News: Juventus Boss Thiago Motta under Fire… See more

Juventus are apparently looking for a new manager, and Thiago Motta is well aware of the situation.

The Bianconeri’s campaign had been mainly underwhelming from the start, but it has plunged into complete anarchy in recent weeks. The team experienced consecutive eliminations from the Champions League and Coppa Italia. On Sunday, they suffered their worst home defeat in 57 years, losing 0–4 to Atalanta.

Therefore, the voices calling for Thiago Motta’s headhave been growing louder and louder in recent weeks, and many believe Cristiano Giuntoli and company will oblige.

Although the directors have been spared from the chastising, a full-blown revolution at the club remains unlikely, so it is Motta and his technical staff who could suffer the axe at the end of the season.

So according to Italian journalist Sandro Sabatini, Giuntoli has already contacted potential Motta replacements, and the latter found out about it.

“Alberto Costa cost 15 million and you can’t explain it, or Kelly who cost 20 million. But it’s not their fault, the responsibility is the club’s, but the calibre of those who play these roles counts,” said Sabatini during his appearance on Pressing via JuventusNews24.

“This is a vague management. Giuntoli has been supporting Thiago Motta since the summer, except for the last few months.

“From what I understand, the director has entrusted friends and acquaintances with a few exploratory phone calls with other coaches and Thiago Motta knew about it. I don’t think the two of them talk every day.”

This is nearly reminiscent of last season, when Max Allegri knew the club was looking for a replacement at the end of the season, despite the fact that his contract was still valid for another year.
