Juventus’ Shocking Secret Message to Thiago Motta: What the ‘Stampa’ Reveals After the Utter Catastrophe!

After yet another humbling defeat, this time a resounding 3-0 at the hands of Fiorentina, the pressure's mounting on Juventus manager Thiago Motta. The esteemed publication La Stampa, closely tied to the Elkann family, has sharpened its quill against the gaffer, echoing the voices of the past. They recalled the poignant words of Marcello Lippi, who, after a disheartening loss to Parma in 1999, felt compelled to resign, stating, "I believe I did everything within my power to uplift this group, but since I didn't succeed, I’ve chosen to step down." Motta, however, had other ideas on Sunday, insisting that resigning would be "too easy." While La Stampa acknowledges that Motta's character may not yet mirror that of his predecessor, it subtly suggests that sometimes, stepping back from the fray is a sign of dignity, a nod towards the hefty wage received for such high-profile stewardship. Selected to steer Juventus' ambitious future after a stellar season at Bologna, it seems the club may have taken a gamble too far. The paper highlights that while the hierarchy backed Motta’s vision and strategies in the transfer market, his results have left much to be desired. With the Champions League now a distant dream and Juventus languishing in the league, the suggestion is clear: perhaps it's time the manager himself took the lofty step down. The editorial concludes with a call for Motta to embrace leadership, to re-ground himself in the fundamentals of the beautiful game, and to start delivering tangible results. After all, following two grim defeats with a cumulative score of 7-0, a flicker of resilience would certainly be a welcome sight.
