Bologna, 23 March 2025 – Never before has Thiago's bench been so Motta is extremely at risk. If after the defeat in Florence the technical director Cristiano Joints had publicly confirmed the Juventus coach, in the space of a week everything changed. The discussions and discussions of these days have opened the crisis in a clear and clear manner and the management felt obliged to contact other coaches for an immediate replacement. Evidently, the trend and the rift in the locker room have put the entry into the Champions League at risk, and 65 million euros of revenue, so an extreme and urgent decision was necessary. Today it is Igor Tudor the closest name.  

Mancini asked for renewal. Tudor accepts short-term hypothesis

Two coaches received a phone call in recent days. The first was Roberto Mancini, fresh from the bad experience as coach of Saudi Arabia. The coach was available, but on the condition that an automatic renewal in the event of the Champions League was included in the contract, an option not appreciated by the black and white club who want to keep their hands free in June to hire another coach (Gasp and Conte are on the list). So, Giuntoli then contacted Igor Tudor, former Juventus player but also former assistant to Pirlo in the 2021 season. He could restore Juventus DNA and mentality, above all, he can accept a short contract that includes the last league matches and the Club World Cup. The best solution for the Juve who evidently understood that it was not possible to go on with Motta and has found a ferryman useful for regaining the Champions League without putting a brake on any summer strategies. The changeover seems very close and the break for the national teams has represented a useful window for a change, giving Tudor, if it were to be made official in the next 24 hours, a week to prepare for the challenge Genoa. So, never like now is Thiago's adventure Motta appears to be at the end of the line after three eliminations in the cups (Milan in the Super Cup, PSV in the Champions League and Empoli in the Italian Cup) and a league score of 13 wins, 13 draws and 3 defeats with fifth place at 12 points from the top occupied from Inter. In fact, the Juve It has never been in the running for a trophy and has immediately withdrawn from the Scudetto race, despite the timid winter reaction that had brought the Bianconeri to six points behind before the direct clash with Atalanta. Motta The difficult management of the group also pays the price, with veterans removed from office (Danilo above all), marginalized players (Vlahovic first and foremost), a barely visible playing identity, a lost mentality and poor results. The last two defeats, moreover, have matured the idea of ​​a total disconnect between team and coach, with a lack of reaction to the first difficulty and a lack of response to stimuli. Adding all the factors together, an internal reflection has become urgent and, today, leans towards early dismissal. Read also - Under 21, Holland beats Italy 1-2, Bruns decides
