Motta, who began his playing career at FC Barcelona and spent eight years there, reacted to speculation over a possible replacement of Xavi as coach of the Catalan club next season.

Thiago Motta does not refuse
And the former Italian international does not say no, at the microphone of Sky Sports Italia: “It’s sad, he was doing a good job and won the title last season. I saw Jurgen Klopp announce he was leaving Liverpool. The coaching job is difficult, but it’s the one we chose“. Asked about his future at Bologna, Motta added: “When there is news, I will tell you, but there is none today. »
After leading the Catalan club to victory in the Spanish Super Cup and the La Liga title last season, things have gone downhill for the former Spain international. Speculation regarding his future at the club began to swirl after Barca failed to defend their Spanish Super Cup title by losing 4-1 to Real Madrid in the final.
