Juventus have decided not to take immediate action against their manager, Thiago Motta, despite suffering two heavy defeats, losing 3-0 to Fiorentina and 4-0 to Atalanta. The club’s decision to retain Motta’s services, at least for the time being, comes as a surprise to some, given the magnitude of these losses.

Background on the Manager

Thiago Motta, who was appointed as Juventus Head Coach in June 2024, has been under pressure due to the team’s recent performances. As reported this week, the situation could take a different turn at the end of the season, with the possibility of Motta being replaced by a new coach to oversee the club’s long-term project. Motta, a former midfielder, has been tasked with guiding Juventus, but the recent results have raised questions about his tenure.

Club’s Stance

The club’s stance on Motta’s position has been somewhat inconsistent, with the Juventus Director backing him amidst criticism just a few weeks ago, on February 27, 2025. This backing suggests that the club still has faith in Motta’s abilities, but the latest reports indicate that this faith may be contingent on the club’s overall performance by the end of the season. According to the latest news, the club is not planning to sack Motta now, but this decision is subject to change, as reported this week.
