Juve, comes John Elkann’s move on Thiago Motta’s future that displaces everyone: now everything changes but there’s a new problem
Juve, la mossa di John Elkann spiazza tutti: cambia tutto per Motta ma c’è un problema enorme – SerieAnews
Fiorentina as a last resort? Maybe yes, maybe no. What is certain is that Juventus has to react big time to the very heavy defeat it suffered last Sunday at the hands of Atalanta and resume the race toward the only goal it is in the running for, qualification for the next edition of the Champions League.
Fourth place is to be secured, because without it, failure would be certified and total. Therefore, it is unthinkable for the Bianconeri’s coffers not to hit the target as well, with the management laboriously working to straighten out the club’s accounts.
And so Thiago Motta, tomorrow in Florence, stakes much of his future, both immediate and long-term. What is certain is that he is on the gridiron, and his project could fall apart even quite quickly in case of a negative result. That is why tomorrow’s match is a crucial one, and the coach himself is aware of it.
Motta e “l’alleato” John Elkann: la situazione in casa bianconera
The Italo-Brazilian coach, in the pre-match press conference, admitted how he felt the closeness of the ownership very much. “In this week I have been pleased with the closeness of the ownership. I am the first to question myself, when things are not going it is right,” his words to the journalists present.

Yeah, but what did it mean? Simple, Motta has found a valuable ally, a safe shore in this time of great difficulty. The reference is of course to John Elkann, major shareholder of Exor, the parent company of Juventus. The entrepreneur, over the course of the season, has been framed on more than one occasion at the Stadium, even in the company of his sons.
From the very beginning, a very solid relationship was established between Elkann and Thiago Motta, which already seemed obvious at the first meeting, with the chat strictly in Portuguese and touching even on “intimate” topics, such as life and family. And so, after the excellent relationship established with Allegri, solidity also with Motta, with Elkann thus deciding to intervene in the first person to give Thiago confidence, in private and away from the spotlight.
Juve, la posizione di Giuntoli su Motta
If Thiago Motta has cashed the trust and closeness of John Elkann, it does not mean that he can feel safe, quite the contrary. Then again, although he is Exor’s largest shareholder, he is certainly not the one to decide on the Italian-Brazilian coach’s future. Indeed, that is up to Cristiano Giuntoli, the Bianconeri football director and head of the club’s technical area.

The executive, who has delegated authority over the sports area, personally chose the Italo-Brazilian coach, deciding to bet on him with his eyes closed ahead of next season. However, the idyll is already over between the parties. The former Napoli ds, in fact, is not happy with his coach’s performance, and the rift was most noticeable in his words today and in his latest press conference.
One less ally for Motta, an ally who has decision-making power, however, and plenty of it. In short, while the proximity of the club owner can be seen as a decidedly positive factor, the coach has no more wild cards to play.
