Giuntoli Drops a Bombshell: “Motta’s Future at Juventus is Secure—Together, We’ll Overcome This Crucial Moment!”
– Juventus' recent defeat to Fiorentina hasn't sparked any drastic changes within the club – not just yet. The football director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has publicly backed manager Thiago Motta, stating, "In these moments, we must all stick together; we emerge from tough times as one." Giuntoli addressed the media following the match, expressing the club's disappointment with their recent performances. "We are truly upset; two games of such poor quality we haven't experienced before. Nevertheless, we are confident we will navigate through this tough patch together. Will Motta stay on? Absolutely." He emphasised the need for a level-headed approach, asserting, "There must be balance; we can’t go from euphoria to despair. This is a sensitive moment, and we will analyse what needs fixing with clarity in the coming days. Our primary goal must remain qualifying for the Champions League, and it’s still within our grasp.” As for the match report, Fiorentina triumphed over Juventus 3-0, leaving Motta's side grappling with unfortunate form. They've slumped recently, suffering four defeats in six matches, with the last two outings yielding seven goals conceded and not a single one scored. Giuntoli noted, "Post-match discussions took place; it's essential each person takes responsibility." Motta also reflected on his role, saying, "Do I think about resigning? That would be too easy, and I shy away from the easy paths. We need to turn this around; we'll find a way to secure the points needed to finish in the top four." His thoughts continued, “There's little to say right now. It’s about reflecting and maintaining clarity to approach our next games differently. I've always taken responsibility as a coach. In football, victories belong to the players; defeats rest on the coach’s shoulders.”
