His debut in Bologna is unanimous. Arriving on the Rossoblù bench in September 2022, Thiago Motta is the architect of their success this season in Serie A. Sixth-placed Bologna aspires to compete in a continental competition next year and the former midfielder’s flock of PSG are off to a good start. And while his name has been mentioned in several big clubs this summer, the latter seems to flourish in Bologna and arouses the admiration of all. This is also the case for Enrico Preziosi.
The former president of Genoa is the one who launched Motta into the deep end on the other side of the Alps. Asked about the success of the former Italian international, the businessman is not surprised and sees things big for the latter: “this is not a surprise to me. I launched it for the first time in Serie A even if the adventure, given the circumstances, was not the most ideal. He interprets football in a modern way but above all he makes his players love him.(…) Perhaps the jump to a club in difficulty at the time was too immediate but great midfielders can always become great coaches. I took it because I trust men like him because they have professional conscience and values. Today they have perfectly understood Serie A. Bologna is a compact team that has invested and even if it does not have any particular excellences, it manages to make the team express itself in the best possible way, this which is not that of Inter or Juve… He can aspire to much more important places, whatever the club at the time it is.»
