Thiago Motta's project at Juventus in Turin is going through a delicate moment. The elimination in the Champions League play-offs against Feyenoord, the defeat in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals against Empoli, and the comeback suffered against Milan in the Supercup have raised alarms within the board. Although the team is still fighting to secure a spot in the next Champions League, the seat of the Italo-Brazilian coach is starting to wobble.
Motta's Dismissal is Extremely Costly
The sporting direction of the Vecchia Signora continues to support Motta's project, at least until the end of the season. However, a defeat against Fiorentina could hasten his departure, with Roberto Mancini gaining ground as a possible replacement. Beyond the sporting aspect, Juventus is crunching numbers to analyze if dismissing Motta is a financially viable option.
As reported by 'Calciomercato', the contract of the former Bologna coach runs until June 2027, and his dismissal would entail an approximate expense of 15 million euros. This sum would be added to the costs associated with his coaching staff, as well as the economic damage of being excluded from the upcoming Champions League, resulting in a loss of nearly 30 million. Juventus is at a crossroads: maintain Motta's project with sporting uncertainty or bear the high cost of his departure and seek a new direction in the coaching staff.
