Behind the Scenes: Thiago Motta’s Game Plan, Juventus’ Next Move After Florence, and What Lies Ahead for the Coach

Juve and the Elusive Champions League Juventus finds itself clinging to hopes of a Champions League berth, with the coveted fourth place still within their grasp. However, following the missteps in the Supercoppa, Champions League, and Coppa Italia, the Old Lady must secure her pass to Europe’s premier tournament. The last time Juventus missed out was due to UEFA's sanctions related to the capital gains scandal, resulting in financial losses estimated between €80 million and €100 million, primarily from lost earnings and the halting of significant market dealings. As for Thiago Motta’s potential successors, a number of names have emerged in the speculation —from Mancini to Pioli, with Tudor also in the mix. Juventus has been quick to refute these rumours, at least in an unofficial capacity, confirming the difficulty in finding a top-tier manager willing to step in mid-season. This is especially daunting given the prospect of safeguarding one’s job over the final nine matches, with the spectre of failure looming large. Amidst this quagmire of uncertainty and whispered doubts, the upcoming break is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it offers a chance for rejuvenation; on the other, it’s a heavy burden to bear. With the supporters in a state of unrest, the thirteen days separating the Fiorentina fixture and their next outing stretch out like an eternity.     - Resource: "https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/serie-a/juve/2025/03/17-139283235/retroscena_thiago_motta_la_strategia_della_juve_dopo_firenze_e_il_futuro_dell_allenatore"
