It had been completed for several weeks but the formalization was finally slow in coming. This Wednesday, Juventus Turin finally announced the arrival on the bench of Thiago Motta. The former PSG player, who has proven himself as Bologna coach, succeeds Massimiliano Allegri who was fired a few weeks ago for serious misconduct and “certain behaviors not compatible with the values of Juventus”. From now on, Thiago Motta is in charge of the Old Lady and has his work cut out for him.
For 4 years now, Juve has not won the championship and worse still, no longer even seems to be in the race for the Serie A title against rivals like AC Milan, Naples or Inter Milan. And we must therefore clearly rebuild the squad to be able to be competitive again. In this direction, La Gazzetta Dello Sport reveals that the young 41-year-old coach has already started to think about the transfer window and is giving his management one month to build a quality squad. He set the date of July 10, the start day of his club’s summer preparation and hopes that the undesirables will have left the club by then.
Thiago Motta wants to change the attack
In terms of arrivals, Thiago Motta especially wants to completely change the Juventus attack which has disappointed in recent years. Several profiles are targeted. The first is none other than Mason Greenwood who got back on track with Getafe last season. Turin management is currently negotiating to lower the price while Manchester United is asking 50 million euros to part with it. But according to the pink paper newspaper, Thiago Motta also wants another Red Devils player. This is Jadon Sancho.
The English international, on bad terms with Erik ten Hag, has relaunched perfectly with Borussia Dortmund over the last 6 months. With his former club, which he returned for a short loan, he was one of the architects of the C1 final. Enough to relaunch his career and attract clubs. Italian leaders are in talks with Manchester United to get the 24-year-old winger back on loan. Juve already wanted him last season, Sancho agreed to a loan, but Allegri wanted to keep his playing system and therefore ruled out this option. As for Greenwood, MU expects 50 million euros. A loan is for the moment the number 1 option for Juventus, which therefore hopes to begin its revolution.
