Bologna to make a last-ditch attempt to keep Motta today Juventus is getting closer to making Thiago Motta their next manager as he meets with Bologna today, potentially for the last time. Motta has done a fantastic job at the home of the Red and Blues, and his team’s qualification for next season’s Champions League has made him one of the top-rated managers. Juve has no doubt that he is the man for their team after Max Allegri left his role as their manager days ago. ............ Motta is meeting with Bologna today, and their president hopes to convince him to stay and announce after the meeting that he will sign a new deal. However, the report also adds that it is likely Motta will inform them of his decision to leave and take the opportunity at Juventus. ............

Thiago Motta to Juventus is basically a done deal Juve’s next manager is all set to be who you thought it would be. Juventus’ next managerial hire appears to be on the cusp of involving somebody shaking hands with his new boss and posing for a few photos with smiles on their faces. Yes, we’ve reached that point of being a couple of small steps away from officially official. According to multiple reports out of Italy through the day on Wednesday, Juventus and current Bologna manager Thiago Motta have essentially agreed to a deal that will see the Brazil-born tactician move to Turin this summer. Motta, who has been with Bologna since the early weeks of the 2022-23 season, is expected to inform the Bologna board of his decision over the next day or two, according to reports, and will then sign with Juventus after the season comes to a close this weekend. Motta will reportedly earn €4 million a season at Juventus. His contract will be for three years, with the third year either being fully guaranteed or an option season depending on who you go to for the information. ............ The challenge now is to try and get Juventus back on track and built in the way for Motta to play the kind of football he wants to play. That certainly won’t be totally achieved in one transfer window, but many expect Juventus to be more active this summer than they were a year ago when their only new addition was Timothy Weah. ............

Details of Juventus Offer to Lure Thiago Motta Leak in Public In the expectation of a new dawn at Juventus, Calciomercato reveal the details of Bianconeri’s contract offer to Bologna manager Thiago Motta. Viewed as the perfect man for the job, the ex-Inter midfielder is the only worthy successor to Massimiliano Allegri in the eyes of Cristiano Giuntoli. Juventus have been working on this deal for months. However, Giuntoli waits until the end of the season to take talks to a new level. It’s almost certain that Motta will take a hot seat in Turin over the summer. And he’ll be duly rewarded for choosing the Allianz Arena as his next destination. Per the report, Juventus have pitched Motta with a three-year contract proposal worth €5 million per season. On top of that, they’ve reportedly promised to back the 41-year-old in the transfer market, starting with the signing of Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori. ............ But Bologna have pieced together a counter-proposal to convince their coach to turn his back on Juventus. Rossoblu president Joey Saputo has allegedly vowed to invest around €100m over the next three years if Motta signs a last-minute contract extension. That scenario looks far-fetched. Juventus shouldn’t be worried about Saputo’s effort, but Barcelona could make them sweat. It’s said Joan Laporta wants to see Xavi Hernandez out at the end of the season, identifying Motta as a potential replacement. ............

Di Livio says Juventus will need a transformation if they opt for Motta Angelo di Livio suggests that Juventus may need to undergo a significant overhaul if Thiago Motta becomes their next manager. Motta is the clear frontrunner to replace Max Allegri at the Allianz Stadium, given his impressive work at Bologna. ............ Di Livio warns that Motta’s arrival may necessitate substantial changes at the club. Di Livio said: “Juventus must win again and If Motta were to arrive you would completely change the mentality and Juventus I don’t know if they are ready, while at the moment, Antonio Conte would be needed.” ............

Journalist says Rabiot’s relationship with Motta better than with Allegri Juventus fans are concerned that Adrien Rabiot may seek to leave the club following the departure of Max Allegri. Rabiot shared a strong rapport with the former manager, emphasising Allegri’s trust as a key factor in his decision to sign a new contract last summer. ............ Having previously played together at PSG, Motta and Rabiot maintain a positive relationship. Journalist Alfredo Pedullà has even suggested that Rabiot may hold Motta in higher regard than Allegri. He said: “There is another thing to say and not to be overlooked about Rabiot: he has a truly special relationship with Thiago Motta, for some verses even superior to the already excellent one he had with Allegri. “The future Juventus coach almost adopted him in Paris, taking him under his protective wing and sheltering him from any type of draft. So, the ball passes to the mother-agent, Mrs. Veronique: if the request for a salary wasn’t really exorbitant and didn’t trigger an auction, Juve and Rabiot could get married again. And it would be an important solution.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/journalist-says-rabiots-relationship-with-motta-better-than-with-allegri/

Koopmeiners crowns Atalanta, but courted by Liverpool and Juventus Teun Koopmeiners has won the Europa League with Atalanta, but the midfielder linked with Liverpool and Juventus won’t let that affect his future. ‘I don’t know, we’ll see.’ ............ Koopmeiners has been linked heavily with a transfer to Liverpool or Juventus in the summer, so will he remain and play for Atalanta in the Champions League? “I am very happy at Atalanta, I am only thinking about this trophy and I don’t know what will happen next season. We’ll see.” If the Dutch international is to be sold at the end of the season, then he is bound to command a price close to €60m after improving so much under Gasperini’s tutelage.

Former Juventus coach says Fagioli can be like a new signing next season Nicolo Fagioli has returned from his extended ban and is now available for Juventus as the current season approaches its end. ............ Despite training with the team throughout his ban, Fagioli saw limited playing time. However, former Juventus youth team manager Francesco Baldini believes Fagioli’s return can be akin to a new signing for the club in the upcoming term. Asked if he thinks the midfielder will be like a new signing, he said: “Yes, due to the direction that Juve is taking at the moment. I don’t think we can ignore, at this moment, the youngsters who have come out of the youth sector such as Nicolussi Caviglia and Fagioli. I have always supported the importance of the second team and it makes me nice to see her still there in the running for the play-offs. Next Gen is a fundamental player for the first team.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/former-juventus-coach-says-fagioli-can-be-like-a-new-signing-next-season/

Juventus director: ‘Essential to reduce number of teams in Serie A’ Juventus director Francesco Calvo suggested it was ‘essential’ to reduce the number of teams competing in Serie A and tried to explain the ‘Italian football crisis’. ............ “For us, it’s essential that there’s a change in the format of the league with a reduction in professional teams which could, combined with a reform of the players’ contracts by introducing more flexibility, review the very concept of mutuality which supports all the lower divisions. “In the last six years, Juventus have invested almost €500m in Serie B and Lega Pro, through the purchase of players and development bonuses.” “The Italian football crisis starts from afar. In 2003, Juve had a turnover like all the most important clubs in Europe. Around €230-250m. “20 years later, we have managed to double this figure, but our international rivals have quadrupled it. The main problem is that the Italian rules think it’s just a game and not an industry.” “In light of the country’s struggling economic system, a lack of competition in the television sector, without forgetting the infrastructural issue, imagining a growth of Italian football at the highest levels is difficult. “The elimination of the Growth Decree and the ban on sponsorship of betting companies are decisions taken outside the football system, but which weigh exclusively on it. ............ “The beginning of the crisis in football started in 1995 with the Bosman law that led to a huge imbalance in the relationship between clubs and players with an exponential increase in costs. We feel penalised. “The Melandri Law on TV rights actually led to a halt in the growth of Italian football, and this is no accident. TV rights stopped in 2009. Serie A supports the whole system. Italian football is not sustainable, and intervention is needed to make it economically viable and stabilise it.” Read more -> https://football-italia.net/juventus-director-essential-reduce-teams/

Lanzafame explains why he thinks Motta is a good fit for Juventus Former Juventus youth team star Davide Lanzafame has commented on Thiago Motta’s potential move to the Allianz Stadium. Motta is considered the main target for the Bianconeri job, and Juventus is exclusively focused on securing his services. They are not currently engaging with any other coaches. ............ Juve will be looking for quick success from Motta when he becomes their manager, and Lanzafame has explained why he thinks the former midfielder could succeed at the Allianz Stadium, he said: “Personally, I have to admit that Thiago Motta is the revelation among the coaches in circulation in Italy and has the right profile for Juventus. He has personality, competence and knows relate to all the members, transmitting confidence and increasingly encouraging their players to do the best they can, so I say that Thiago Motta has everything to be the Juventus coach.” ............

Did Saelemaekers spill the beans on Thiago Motta future? Bologna winger Alexis Saelemaekers had a few words of praise for his manager Thiago Motta, and many believe the Belgian may have revealed too much.

Nevertheless, many believe that Motta already has an agreement in principle to join Juventus next season. Moreover, Saelemaekers’ statement last night may have spilled the beans, as many fans and observers consider it a farewell message to the seemingly departing coach. “Thank you mister for everything you did for us. It was incredible,” said the former Milan winger in his post-match interview with DAZN following last night’s thrilling 3-3 draw between Bologna and Juventus. ............

It has been an eventful few days at Continassa, to say the least. The Bianconeri sacked Allegri for his fiery outburst in Coppa Italia final, a clash he ironically won. ............ “Motta hasn’t signed anything yet but he has a commitment to Juventus for a three-year deal,” said Di Marzio during his appearance on Sky Sport Italia. “He has already made the decision to join the Bianconeri.” ............ “I don’t know what Allegri’s plans are at the moment. These were delicate hours. “He was expecting to remain on the bench to greet the fans on the final day of the season.

Thiago Motta reveals his future will be decided in coming days amidst Juventus links Bologna coach Thiago Motta admits the next few days will be crucial to determine his future amidst growing links to the Juventus hot seat.

The time has come to do so, but it must be done internally and with great respect for everyone.” If Saputo fails to convince Motta to stay put, the latter will likely head to Turin in the coming weeks.

Thiago Motta has received a three-year contract offer from Juventus The wheels are starting to be put in motion, it appears. Now that Juventus officially have a managerial opening a few weeks earlier than pretty much everybody expected, the wheels appear to be starting to be put in motion for the guy everybody expects to be Max Allegri’s full-time replacement. Yes, even though he is still technically under contract with another club. According to reports out of Italy over the last 24 hours, Juventus have officially offered Bologna manager Thiago Motta a three-year contract through 2027 to become their new head coach. Previous reports said that the contract could be a two-year deal with an option for a third, but SportItalia’s Alfredo Pedulla as well as Fabrizio Romano have both said the third year of the contract is very much a guaranteed one, with Motta being offered a salary in the neighborhood of €3.5 million a season. Motta, who has reportedly been Juve chief Cristiano Giuntoli’s top choice to replace Allegri for months now, has refused to discuss a new contract with Bologna despite the club insisting on opening talks. That has only fueled the speculation that he is going to be on the move once the season comes to an end despite how well Bologna’s season has played out. ............ With Allegri’s dismissal on Friday, you have to believe a lot of the focus over the next couple of days will be about Motta and how soon Juventus can get a deal done once the season comes to a close next weekend. Juve, who travel face Motta and Bologna on Monday in a meeting of third place against fourth place, have clinched their spot in next season’s Champions League, thus deeming the last two games of the 2023-24 campaign rather meaningless other than final positioning in the Serie A table. Motta’s work at Bologna has been the feel-good story of the season, helping the club qualify for a European competition for the first time in 60 years. Bologna are currently level on 67 points with Juventus, but are ahead of the Bianconeri in third place thanks to goal differential. ............

How Bologna are trying to convince Thiago Motta to stay amidst Juventus talks Juventus are currently working to bring Thiago Motta to Turin, but Bologna are still desperately trying to keep hold of their manager.

As for Motta, his contract with the Rossoblu will expire in June, leaving him free to join a new club this summer. But everyone at Bologna is desperate to maintain Motta, starting from the club’s owner Joey Saputo, all the way down to the players. ............ Saputo will reportedly try to lock down the tactician with a new contract while offering him a pay raise, various bonuses and more power on the transfer market to avoid a similar scenario from last summer when the management rejected the coach’s requests. Moreover, the club’s historic qualification for the Champions League could be an additional incentive for Motta to stay. ............

Italian journalist insists: Giuntoli keen to replace Allegri with Thiago Motta Italian journalist Marco Conterio believes Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli considers Thiago Motta the primary candidate to replace Max Allegri.
