Thiago Motta might be out of a job for a long time, as a couple of teams have reached out to him to test the waters ahead of the summer. Juventus are watching the situation with a keen eye. They’d save a decent buck if he rescinded his contract prematurely, TuttoSport informs.
Otherwise, he and his staff will stay on the Bianconeri’s payroll for two more campaigns with a €15M cost. The ownership quickly intervened to offset the unexpected expense. He’s waiting for his next opportunity at his home in Cascais in Portugal.
Despite what happened in Turin, Thiago Motta is set to have important suitors. Atalanta would weigh him if Gian Piero Gasperini left, which is increasingly likely. While he uses a different scheme, they share a similar philosophy. The two were together at Genoa. The former midfielder often lauded the Bergamaschi boss throughout the years.
Tottenham might also change their coach in a pair of months. They are discontent with their performances under Ange Postecoglou. They are 14th in the Premier League. The ex-Juventus gaffer would have to compete with Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola in that event.
Our Take on Thiago Motta
Somebody else with reap the benefits of what he has learned during his time with Juventus. His teams have usually improved drastically in his second year at the helm. While his flop in Turin likely removes him from contention for the top jobs, as he’d be a mammoth gamble, he’s an easy bet to bounce back and succeed in a more patient team that under less pressure. He’d be a suitable choice for Atalanta, for instance.
