“Thiago Motta must be exonerated,” the decision came final: but sensational backstory revealed, Giuntoli did not give the input
“Motta va esonerato”: altro che Giuntoli, ecco da chi è partita la decisione shock – SerieAnews
A fiery Sunday was experienced two days ago at Juventus. With the championship at a standstill, it took the management to revitalize it through the announcement of Thiago Motta’s exoneration. On the official website the news was already in the air, resulting in the hiring of Igor Tudor as a ferryman, at least for the moment.
Genoa will challenge him against the Croatian, then, with the Italian-Brazilian coach missing his chance to get Juve back on track. The coach, at the time of his exoneration, was in Portugal where his family lives and was preparing for the challenge against the Grifone, both tactically and motivationally.
And instead, the situation has definitely gone downhill, with the management deciding not to give Motta any more chances. Too heavy were the defeats against Atalanta and Fiorentina, a humiliating 0-4 against the Orobici and the three goals conceded by the Viola. A kind of blow to the heart for Juve, which also took advantage of the break to make the reversal.

The reversal, moreover, had already been decided. As many as 20 million euros Juve will shell out for this exoneration but the risk of possibly losing qualification for the next Champions League was too high not to intervene. Motta is paying for the last really terrible month, in which all the goals disappeared one after another.

First the elimination in the Champions League, in the play offs by the modest PSV Eindhoven, with a real suicide in the return match, then the resounding figure in the Coppa Italia against Empoli. And finally, the two league defeats that “eliminated” Juve from the Scudetto fight and then also lost fourth place in the standings.
A string of negative results abruptly ended the HCL project that was supposed to last three years. The decision for the technical change, however, did not come from Giuntoli.
Juve, lo spogliatoio ha “tradito” il tecnico
According to information gathered by our editorial staff, before the match against Fiorentina, the Bianconeri football director reportedly asked the senators for their opinion on Thiago Motta’s performance. Well, the majority of the players reportedly told the manager that they did not want to continue with the Italo-Brazilian on the bench.

In fact, Motta was betrayed by his locker room, with the players reportedly calling for his dismissal evidently unhappy with the coach’s training methods. A more than credible situation to see even the parting messages from the players to the coach.
At the moment only Bremer – currently injured – and Mbangula have greeted the coach through personal social profiles. The Belgian was a big bet won by the coach: Motta glimpsed the player’s potential right from the start and bet on the boy from the first day of the championship, receiving positive performances and goals in return.
