Interviewed on Radio Bianconera, Nicola Penta, spoke about Juventus’ decision to operate for the exoneration of Thiago Motta. Here are his words, “Exor decided. Exor decided because Mancini had already signed a contract that was cassetted by those who have the responsibilities in Exor to say yes or no. Obviously today we are in a situation where there is a budget that has already been limited and there was no extra budget. With Mancini there would have been an extra budget, so they said no. You go ahead with a low-cost but offensive coach like Tudor. He is a very good coach who accepted a solution that first-rate coaches would never accept.”
Penta: “Giuntoli si è troppo fossilizzato su Thiago Motta”

The sports consultant also spoke about Juventus’ sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli: “Has Giuntoli been deputized in this situation? Exactly. For Giuntoli it is a second defeat. He chose the first coach and it went badly; he chose the second and the ownership said no. Certainly, however, it must be said in Giuntoli’s favor that he was the one who proposed Tudor’s name and that he had already talked to him. Fortunately, this time he used Plan B, which he did not do last summer. I had said several times that usually a sporting director does interviews with two, three, four, even five coaches. To understand what his module is, what he thinks of the players, find a common line, instead he was fossilized on Motta and this thing penalized him.” Read also Gian Piero Gasperini’s comment on Thiago Motta’s exoneration <<<
