Italian giants Juventus have made a significant change in their coaching staff by appointing Thiago Motta as their new manager. The 41-year-old former Bologna boss and ex-midfielder for Italy and Inter Milan has signed a three-year contract with the club, lasting until June 2027. This move comes after the departure of Massimiliano Allegri, who was relieved of his duties just two days after guiding the team to victory in the Italian Cup.
Motta brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having previously led Bologna to a fifth-place finish in Serie A last season, securing qualification for the prestigious Champions League. The Brazilian-born coach expressed his excitement at the opportunity, stating, “I am really happy to begin a new chapter at the helm of a great club like Juventus. I thank the owners and management for their trust in me, and I am determined to uphold the club’s legacy and bring joy to the fans.”
During his playing career, Motta also represented clubs such as Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Genoa, and Paris St-Germain, where he retired as a player before transitioning into coaching. He started his coaching journey with the youth team at PSG and later served in various coaching roles at Genoa before eventually taking on the head coach position at Spezia and later Bologna.
With Motta now at the helm, Juventus fans will be eager to see how he implements his tactical acumen and playing philosophy with the team. The appointment of a young and dynamic coach like Motta signals a new era for the club, and supporters will be hopeful that he can lead the team to success both domestically and in European competitions.
As Juventus prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Motta and his ability to shape the team according to his vision. With his track record of success and his determination to make an impact at one of the biggest clubs in Italy, Motta’s appointment is sure to generate excitement and anticipation among the fans. Juventus will be hoping that this new chapter under Motta’s leadership will bring them closer to their goals and deliver silverware to the club once again.
