After the evening of shame against Empoli, Juventus went up to the front to confirm its confidence in Thiago Motta, with the words of the director general of football, Cristiano Giuntoli: “Motta is not subject to discussion. The club is responsible for owners and supporters». By the end of the season, neither the coach nor the team will have no apology: the minimum objective of qualifying for the Champions League must be achieved. Unfortunately, the project started a year ago was questioned, when the end of the relationship with Massimiliano Allegri marked a clear break with the past, which then continued with the farewell of Danilo.
What is certain, if Thiago Motta was to be dismissed by Juventus at the end of the season, is that the judgment on his work could not be separated from that on Cristiano Giuntoli, sports director who strongly wanted Thiago Motta and who was the main architect of the farewell of Allegri. He is the manager who built Juventus's current workforce with his choices and with the approval of Motta's preferences. The fault between Giuntoli and Motta would be difficult to share. At this stage, however, the ball would be in the hands of the owner John Elkann, who could also take “personal” responsibility for the choice of the new coach, leaving Giuntoli to manage the transfer window.
