Motta wants Juventus to keep two players who have been in the news because of their uncertain futures.

 

The report claims he has decided he wants to work with Gleison Bremer and Adrien Rabiot, and he wants both players to remain at the club.

 

Juve will now try to get the Frenchman on a new deal and ignore interest in Bremer to make their new coach happy. ............

'A wonderful era!' - Thiago Motta struggles to hold back tears and tells Bologna stars they can count on him as 'father, brother, friend' as his Juventus move nears

Thiago Motta struggled to hide his emotions as he bid farewell to the Bologna staff, players and fans before his move to

Juventus.

 

 

After the game, Motta said to Sky Sports Italia: "This ends a wonderful era, we experienced those emotions and moments together, without forgetting anyone who was part of it from last season too. I want to publicly thank the fans for all they gave us, their support at home and away.

 

"From today I am no longer the coach of this team, but these lads know that at any moment, they can count on me as a father, an older brother, a friend.

 

"We always treated each other with respect, but with reciprocal respect. I gave my all for these lads, they did the same for me, that is why we achieved these results, but the way we achieved them was more important." ............

Thiago Motta set to sign for Juventus this week

 

 

Juventus and Thiago Motta will reportedly put pen to paper at some point during the current week. ............

 

The 41-year-old held a meeting with Rossoblu president Joey Saputo last week, expressing his desire to leave the club.

 

Therefore, Motta is now free to sign for Juventus, and Sky Sport expects the operation to be finalized this week.

Thiago Motta identifies three untouchable players at Juventus

 

 

Thiago Motta considers Andrea Cambiaso, Kenan Yildiz, and Nicolò Fagioli three untouchable players in his Juventus squad. ............

 

The Italian full-back recently extended his contract until 2029, Yildiz will soon sign a new agreement as well, and Fagioli has just returned from a seven-month ban for gambling.

 

Motta hopes to keep Gleison Bremer in the team and form a defensive partnership with Riccardo Calafiori, but the Bianconeri may need to sell the Brazilian to afford the Bologna defender.

 

Next week, Cristiano Giuntoli will have a ‘decisive’ meeting with Adrien Rabiot’s agent and mother, Veronique, to determine whether the Frenchman will extend his stay beyond 2024. ............

 

Federico Chiesa’s future remains uncertain, and the same is true of Wojciech Szczesny ............

New system, no playing style – What to expect from Juventus with Motta in charge

 

 

Juventus will announce Thiago Motta as their new manager,  thus resulting in major changes in playing style. ............

 

The first major change is obviously related to the tactical system. The 41-year-old will drop his predecessor’s 3-5-2 formation and adopt a combination varying between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1.

 

Motta isn’t a rigid tactician in this regard, noting how he kept alternating formations during his early-career stint at Genoa.

 

Moreover, Juventus will be building up the play from deep positions. In fact, the report reveals how Bologna were the second team in Serie A this season when it comes to touches inside their own penalty box. ............

 

One of the more noticeable traits in his game is the advancing centre-back, who surges forward to join the midfield on some occasions.

 

The Italo-Brazilian also heavily relies upon fullbacks to drive the ball forward, while the striker tends to drop deep to help in the buildup and simultaneously create spaces for the wingers to attack in the opposition’s final third.

 

On the defensive phase, Motta opts for a risky high-pressing game. But if the opponents manage to escape, his wingers would be asked to track back at a frenetic pace to cover at the back, which could be one of the main reasons why Federico Chiesa could be deemed inapt to the plan.

Could Arthur regain Juventus spot With Motta in charge?

 

 

The imminent arrival of Thiago Motta will change many things at Juventus, and could even possibly open the door for Arthur Melo’s return.

 

The 27-year-old spent two underwhelming campaigns in Turin between 2020 and 2022. He tried to put his career back on the right track last season at Liverpool, but it turned out to be a disastrous loan spell.

 

However, the Brazilian found his feet again this season at Fiorentina. However, the Viola cannot afford to maintain his services on a permanent basis, so he’ll most likely return to Juventus in July and await his fate. ............

 

Motta could give Arthur the chance to prove himself during the first few weeks of the pre-season.

 

The former Barcelona man had praised the 41-year-old in a recent interview, which suggests that the player could be eager to play his football under the guidance of his compatriot.

 

Arthur is a deep-lying playmaker who excels in passing. This is a profile that the current Juventus squad lacks, albeit Nicolo Fagioli could arguably feature as a Regista. ............

Thiago Motta the Right but Not Riskless Hire for Juventus

 

 

Next week should finally be the time for Juventus to announce Thiago Motta as their next coach and complete a chase that started months ago. The delay appears to be simply technical. The Bianconeri gave him some time to unplug after the season, but things have never been in doubt since Cristiano Giuntoli reached out to him. The first contacts may even date back to February, Alfredo Pedullà informs. The director started his pursuit once it became apparent that the Old Lady wouldn’t win the Scudetto, making it easy to move on from Massimiliano Allegri.

 

It’s surely a masterstroke by the former Napoli director considering the challenges and underwhelming results of other coaching searches. ............

 

It doesn’t happen often for a candidate to perfectly fit what a team is looking for: modern tactics, ability to maximize the squad and groom youngsters, previous success in Serie A, relatively affordable wages, and ambition but necessarily eagerness to win immediately since he’s still fairly early in his career. Technically, the only reservation is whether his high-intensity philosophy and maniacal preparation will work with a much busier schedule and less practice time. ............

 

 

The new boss will walk into a less challenging situation than the former Lazio and Napoli boss. The squad is a lot younger and doesn’t have many big personalities to butt heads with. It’s also one of their problems on the pitch. Even if some starlets are sold to raise cash, he’ll have plenty to work with talent-wise. On the other hand, if things don’t work out right away, he’ll face a lot more scrutiny than in his previous stops. For instance, despite the importance to their respective teams, it’s way easier to freeze out M’Bala Nzola at Spezia or Marko Arnautovic and Riccardo Orsolini at Bologna for whatever reasons. His ultimate results quelled any doubts, but, in Turin, there won’t be time and patience to wait till the end to judge. It’ll be a week-to-week process, and each slightly controversial lineup decision will be evaluated with a fine-tooth comb. That will put pressure on his entire operation while he settles on his preferred XI and substitution pattern.

The Main Concerns

In that sense, Giuntoli and the rest of the Bianconeri hierarchy will have to stand by the gaffer a lot more than they did with Allegri publicly and behind the scenes. Explaining that the project is long-term, as the manager will ink a three-year contract, won’t be enough. The fans and the pundits will want to see results pronto. It won’t be hard to improve stylistically, but being critically acclaimed isn’t really an achievement for a team of their caliber. The relatively good news is that they have fallen so much in the second half of the season, and really in recent campaigns, that even being serious contenders would be a success.

 

Thiago Motta isn’t as loud and demonstrative as other coaches but might not be the easiest person to deal with. He was not so secretly at loggerheads with the main director at Spezia and the disagreements with Bologna exec Giovanni Sartori on the transfer market contributed to his choice to leave Bologna. The reassuring part is that the feuding didn’t affect other and more important stuff, as the gaffer was perfectly capable of compartmentalizing. Still, it’ll be something to monitor, and Juventus will have to hope the honeymoon phase with Giuntoli lasts. ............

Conte was hopeful of becoming the next Juventus coach for several months

 

 

Antonio Conte is set to continue his managerial career as the coach of Napoli, with several reports suggesting he has accepted a three-year deal to manage the club.

 

It is a surprising move by the former Juventus midfielder and coach, who had been a free agent for much of the last 18 months after leaving his job at Tottenham. ............

 

He reportedly turned down Napoli and several other clubs at the time to wait and see if Juve would make him their next manager.

 

The ex-Tottenham manager waited for Juventus for several months.

 

When the Bianconeri decided to move in another direction following Allegri’s departure, he also decided to move on and will be in the dugout for Napoli next term. ............

Romano reveals when Juventus will announce Thiago Motta as new manager

 

 

Juventus and Thiago Motta have had an agreement in principle for quite some time now, but the signatures have yet to arrive. ............

 

So while the writing has been on the wall for months, when will the official announcement be made?

 

In his morning column, Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Juventus will announce the arrival of Motta next week.

 

The transfer market guru insists that the two parties have a full agreement and that it is all going according to plan. Romano believes the Bianconeri never intended to make the announcement this week anyway. ............

 

Moreover, the journalist reveals that Motta has already been involved in the club’s transfer market plans.

 

For instance, the former Genoa and Spezia coach is an avid admirer of Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio who should complete a move to Juventus in the coming days.

 

Motta is also in favor of signing Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners, but this one remains a comprehensively more complex operation due to La Dea’s hefty asking price.

“If Bologna loses 5-6 games in a row, nobody says anything. At Juve you have to play well, but above all you have to win. Inter, Milan and Juve have wonderful, but complicated places. It won’t be easy for Thiago Motta. Juve is a great step.” ............

Official: Thiago Motta is new Juventus coach to 2027

 

 

Juventus have formally appointed Thiago Motta as their new coach after he took Bologna to Champions League qualification.

Thiago Motta – Five key priorities for new Juventus coach

 

 

Thiago Motta is ready to kickstart a new era at Juventus after a tough few years in Turin and there’s a number of priorities that need to be addressed. .............

 

Thiago Motta has signed a three-year contract with the Old Lady and is now ready to start a new era at the club, looking to take them back to the top of Italian football once again. In the dugout in Turin, he’ll need to focus on a number of factors before closing the gap with teams like Inter and Milan. .............

 

The first priority for Thiago Motta is the upcoming summer transfer window. Shaking off the shackles of the Allegri era, the Italian-Brazilian coach will work closely with sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli to revitalise the squad, and a number of key targets have already been identified. .............

 

 

This leads into his next priority; building a new identity. Juventus have developed a painful reputation for mediocrity, defensive play and a lack of ideas moving forward, things that’ll need to be addressed by Thiago Motta if he wants to find a winning formula in Turin.

 

The coach will also need to find common ground with the fans, whose mood is at an all-time low after Allegri’s second spell. There is a lack of passionate joy in the stands of the Allianz Stadium due to the negative football previously on display, so he’ll need to prove that things have changed following his arrival.

 

Thiago Motta will also have to find a rhythm with the stars in the squad. .............

 

Finally, Thiago Motta needs to prove his winning status, with a trophy in his debut season a huge boost to his chances of success in Turin. For a club who consider victory to be part of their DNA, securing silverware right out of the gate would go a long way to proving he’s the right man for the job, even if a little patience is needed.

Juventus finally confirm their new head coach! Ex-PSG & Inter star Thiago Motta replaces Max Allegri after impressive Serie A campaign with Bologna

 

 

Motta joins the Turin giants after a stellar season with Serie A rivals Bologna, where he remarkably secured Champions League qualification for the first time since the 1964-65 season. His inaugural season saw Bologna finish ninth in Serie A and he followed it up with a fifth-place finish, their highest since 1981, thus ensuring their return to the Champions League after decades. .............

 

Motta told Juventus' website: “I am really happy to begin a new chapter at the helm of a great club like Juventus. I thank the owners and the management, who can be sure of my ambition to keep the Juventus flag flying high and to please the fans”. .............

 

Juventus, a club synonymous with success and high standards, is looking to rejuvenate its fortunes under Motta’s guidance. The new manager brings a fresh perspective and a proven track record of instilling a cohesive and dynamic playing style. With his strategic acumen and experience at the highest levels of the game, Motta is expected to lead Juventus through a phase of rebuilding and renewal. The club's fans and management are hopeful that his appointment will not only bring tactical innovation but also restore Juventus to its former glory in both Serie A and the Champions League.

How much will Thiago Motta earn as the Juventus manager

 

 

Thiago Motta has just been announced as the latest manager of Juventus, with the Bianconeri eager to return to winning trophies.

This is over 50% less than what Allegri earned, and Motta will aim to perform well and earn a new deal as soon as possible. .............
