While Juventus hopes to save its season this Wednesday evening by winning the Coppa Italia final against Atalanta, the Piedmont club is wasting no time in preparing for the off-season. It has now been several months since the management of the Old Lady, structured around Cristiano Giuntoli and Giovanni Manna, has been drawing the first lines of the major summer plan planned for the reconstruction of the Bianconeri. This transition period will be accompanied in particular by a major overhaul of the technical staff. As we exclusively revealed to you, Thiago Motta, at the end of his contract with Bologna, is still in pole position to take over from Massimiliano Allegri. Indeed, the current Rossoblù coach has already warned his management that he had received concrete approaches from certain clubs including Juventus, who make it an absolute priority and with whom he already has an agreement . But to lock in the arrival of the former PSG midfielder on the Turin bench, negotiations are continuing to get rid of Allegri, under contract with the Old Lady until June 2025.

Dismissing Allegri and signing Motta is the main objective of the new Turin management led by Cristiano Giuntoli for several months now. According to our information, the leaders of the Bianconeri say they are ready to pay severance pay estimated at 6 million euros to dismiss the Italian tactician this summer. The time has therefore come for changes on the Juventus bench, which is preparing to write a new page in its history in a new sporting project focused in particular on youth around leaders already present such as Gleison Bremer, Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic. The installations of Kenan Yildiz, Fabio Miretti, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia and Andrea Cambiaso in the rotation are irrefutable proof of this. Just like winter recruits Tiago Djaló and Carlos Alcaraz. Without forgetting the presence of Nicolò Fagioli and Samuel Iling-Junior. A great group of youngsters to which we must add the trio of young nuggets loaned to Frosinone, Enzo Barrenechea, Matias Soulé and Kaio Jorge.

The Turin management is confident!

If AC Milan has long pushed to beat the Turin competition to the wire with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the helm, Juventus has taken too much of a lead in discussions with Thiago Motta. Moreover, the Piedmontese leaders are very confident in the idea of ​​completing the departure of Allegri and the arrival of Motta in the coming weeks. On the other hand, in Emilia-Romagna, the Bolognese management is therefore working to anticipate the departure of the Italian tactician and several profiles have been surveyed in recent weeks by the leaders. According to our indiscretions, Vincenzo Italiano, Stefano Pioli and Alessio Dionisi are the three most coveted profiles, while the Italian press also adds that of Maurizio Sarri. There were also concrete discussions between Pioli and the Rossoblù. However, we learned that the leaders of Bologna were still awaiting Motta’s decision which postponed the deadline for several days.

According to our information, certain members of the Bolognese management will continue to push internally to keep Motta with qualification for the Champions League now acquired for next season. It remains to be seen how soon the formalizations will be announced by the two Italian clubs. But apart from a huge twist, Thiago Motta will indeed be the new coach of Juventus next season with whom he has had a multi-season contractual agreement for many weeks now. In Bologna, pessimism predominates in the offices regarding the future of Motta and the managers hope to quickly find the perfect successor before experiencing a historic epic in C1. The ball is in the court of the Italian coach who must now communicate his choice to his management and initial his lease with Juventus.
