Juventus fans, rejoice! The Bianconeri are on the cusp of a new era with reports in Italy heavily suggesting Thiago Motta will be unveiled as their new head coach by Wednesday of this week.
Motta, a former Juventus player himself, has been heavily linked with the role since the departure of coach Andrea Pirlo. The Brazilian-born Italian midfielder enjoyed a successful playing career. Winning Serie A titles with both Inter Milan and, of course, Juventus.
This move signifies a return to Turin for Motta, but this time from the dugout. After retiring in 2018, he transitioned into management, taking the reins at Spezia Calcio in Serie B. His impressive stint there, guiding the club to promotion to Serie A for the first time in their history, caught the attention of bigger clubs.
Motta then moved on to AS Monaco in Ligue 1, where he further solidified his reputation as a talented young coach. His preferred style of play is known for being tactically astute, possession-based, and focused on controlling the midfield. A philosophy that could breathe new life into the Juventus midfield.
Details surrounding the contract are also emerging. Reports suggest Juventus have offered Motta a three-year deal, keeping him at the helm until June 2027. This long-term commitment signifies the faith the club has in his ability to lead them back to domestic and European glory.
With the official announcement expected imminently, excitement is building amongst Juventus fans. Motta’s arrival marks a new chapter for the club, and fans will be eager to see how he implements his tactics and philosophy on the pitch. Can he turn the tide and restore Juventus to their former dominance? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – the future looks bright for the Bianconeri with Thiago Motta at the helm.
