Juventus Target Thiago Motta as Next Head Coach
Rumours and Speculations Swirl
Reports have surfaced suggesting that Italian giants Juventus are eyeing Bologna's Thiago Motta as a potential replacement for current head coach Max Allegri. Motta has emerged as Juventus' top choice should they decide to part ways with Allegri, who has faced criticism for the team's inconsistent performances this season.
Motta, a former midfielder who played for clubs such as Barcelona and Inter Milan, has impressed as Bologna's coach. Under his leadership, the team has moved into contention for a top-half finish in Serie A.
Agreement in Principle
According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, Juventus and Motta have reached an agreement in principle. The 40-year-old coach is reportedly keen on taking the Juventus job, which would represent a significant step up in his career.
However, Bologna are reluctant to lose their manager and are said to be demanding a compensation fee in the region of €10 million. Juventus are reportedly willing to pay that amount, but the negotiations are still ongoing.
The future of Max Allegri at Juventus remains uncertain. The club's hierarchy will likely make a decision on his future at the end of the season, based on the team's performance and his ability to meet the club's objectives.
