Juventus’ delicate moment has prompted John Elkann to intervene: Thiago Motta is not the only one at risk, there is also the entire management
Juventus, scende in campo Elkann: non solo Motta, terremoto anche nella dirigenza – Serieanews
Juventus is going through one of the most complicated periods of the season, with two consecutive defeats that have left their mark. The Bianconeri club is fresh off defeats against Atalanta and Fiorentina, two games that saw Juve concede as many as seven goals and not score a single one.
A decidedly negative balance sheet that has caused the team to slip to fifth place in the standings, far from the Champions League zone, a key goal for the club. The situation is certainly not one of the best, and fans are beginning to wonder what the club’s future moves will be to lift a season that seems destined to end in the worst possible way.
Thiago Motta a rischio esonero: Genoa ultima spiaggia
Thiago Motta, Juventus coach, seems to be the first to come to terms with the team’s difficulties. His management is under scrutiny, and although the club has said it wants to support him, the reality may be different. Motta’s exoneration now seems to be a matter of time, which could materialize even soon.

Indeed, if Juventus were to suffer a third consecutive defeat against Genoa after those against Atalanta and Fiorentina, exoneration would be almost inevitable. This would further slide the team into a dire situation, complicating not only the path to Champions League qualification but also the perception of the team itself, which seems to have lost confidence in its coach.
Juventus, which has invested significantly in Motta with a contract that binds him to the club until 2027, would also face a considerable cost for his exoneration. A drastic decision that, if made, would also have implications for the club’s future choices.
Should Juve opt for an immediate change, the hypothesis of a ferryman could be considered. Among the names circulating are Massimiliano Brambilla, coach of the Under-23 team, or Francesco Magnanelli, coach of the Primavera team. However, the situation remains delicate, with the need for prompt action.
Giuntoli ed il flop sul mercato: il dirigente è nei guai
Not only Motta, Giuntoli, head of the technical area, may also end up in the company’s crosshairs. Despite large investments in the market, his performance has been questioned. Transfers made this summer and in January did not produce the expected results, with several signings not making as much of an impact as expected.

Some players, such as Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz, were bought for significant sums, but they have not been able to lift the team, turning out to be completely disappointing, while some young talents have been sold too hastily, such as Nicolò Fagioli and Moise Kean, who are shining in other jerseys.
Juventus, i flop di Giuntoli: le cessioni affrettate
The Juventus market under Giuntoli’s management has seen substantial investments, but the return on these investments has been very disappointing. The numbers speak for themselves: 60 million for Koopmeiners, over 50 for Luiz, 20 for Thuram, 33 for Nico Gonzalez. And despite the high figures, the quality and incisiveness of the new signings have fallen far short of expectations.
In addition, Giuntoli made disposals that now appear to be poor choices. Matias Soulé, sold to Roma for about 30 million, and Dean Huijsen, sold to Bournemouth for 20 million, are just two examples of players who could benefit the team right now.
Similarly, Federico Chiesa, Alex Sandro and Adrien Rabiot have been sacrificed with severance payments. Giuntoli’s track record looks increasingly negative, and fans are beginning to wonder if the club is making too many mistakes under his leadership.
Against this backdrop of uncertainty, Juventus is at a crossroads. The season can still be salvaged, but on the condition that strong and quick decisions are made. The management will have to think carefully about who to keep and who to remove to lift the club out of this crisis. The field will do the talking, but in the meantime, Juventus is one step closer to an even deeper crisis.
