It was highly anticipated and it is now official: Thiago Motta is leaving the Bologna club and signing up with Juventus who have beaten all the competition on the file for several months. The former Italian international has signed a three-year contract with Juventus. Despite the crazy promises from the Bolognese management to convince him, the former Inter Milan player will pack up, leaving Emilia-Romagna for Piedmont after two great campaigns with the Rossoblù: “Let’s finish the season, it’s a good celebration for the Bologna supporters, then I will talk to Saputo and together we will say what the future will be like”Thiago Motta had implied a few days ago.
“It’s official: the next Juventus coach will be Thiago Motta. The Italian-Brazilian technician signed a contract with Juventus until June 30, 2027 », is written in the official press release published on the Turin club website. A new major project will be created at Juventus, which has gone four consecutive seasons without winning the Serie A title. Motta, for his part, now seems excited at the idea of taking on this new challenge: “I am really happy to start this new experience at the head of a big club like Juventus. I thank the owners of the club and the management to whom I assure all my ambition to keep the colors of Juventus high and to make the supporters happy.said the former Bologna coach.
The Old Lady is getting a facelift!
It has now been several months since the management of the Old Lady, structured around Cristiano Giuntoli, has been drawing the first lines of the major summer plan planned for the reconstruction of the Bianconeri. This transition period will be accompanied in particular by a major overhaul of the technical staff. As we exclusively revealed to you, Thiago Motta, at the end of his contract with Bologna, was in pole position to take over from Massimiliano Allegri and it is now done. The now former coach of Bologna has already warned his management that he had received concrete approaches from certain clubs, including Juventus, who made it an absolute priority and with whom he had already had an agreement for several weeks. The Rossoblù management tried everything to extend the former PSG midfielder, architect of the incredible Bolognese epic this season validating a historic return to the Champions League for the first time in 49 years. Dismissing Allegri and signing Motta is the main objective of the new Turin management led by Cristiano Giuntoli for several months now.
The time has therefore come for changes on the Juventus bench, which is preparing to write a new page in its history in a new sporting project focused in particular on youth around leaders already present such as Gleison Bremer, Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic. The installations of Kenan Yildiz, Fabio Miretti, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia and Andrea Cambiaso in the rotation are irrefutable proof of this. Just like winter recruits Tiago Djaló and Carlos Alcaraz. Without forgetting the presence of Nicolò Fagioli and Samuel Iling-Junior. A great group of youngsters to which we must add the trio of young nuggets loaned to Frosinone, Enzo Barrenechea, Matias Soulé and Kaio Jorge. Not everyone will stay, but there is a great basis for working intelligently. The Bianconeri sports management will now be able to prepare for the transfer window with confidence and should even bring Riccardo Calafiori, Motta’s protégé to Bologna, in Piedmont, while they are also working on Teun Koopmeiners, Douglas Luiz, Mason Greenwood and Michele Di Gregorio.
