What future for Thiago Motta on the Bench of Juventus Turin? For the time being difficult to say, but the former midfielder of PSG is more than ever weakened. After her elimination in the Champions League against the PSV, the old lady is, in fact, a new fall to everyone's surprise in the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup, Wednesday evening, against Empoli (1-1, 2-4 TAB). A disillusionment that did not fail to make the Italian press react and to place the 42 -year -old Italian on the hot seat.

Under pressure, Thiago Motta will, in the meantime, try to pocket the three points at home, against Hellas Verona, on March 3.
