Juventus to appoint new coach

Juventus have announced that Thiago Motta will no longer be their coach in the coming hours.

The club said Igor Tudor is the chosen one to take over the bench.

Juventus will change coaches during this international break. The Italians have grown tired of Thiago Motta’s attitude, and with poor results backing him up, he will be sacked in the coming hours, according to Tuttosport.

During this break, the club expected meetings with players to try to motivate the squad, but this didn’t happen. Instead, light training sessions were held with a calm Motta.

This has been the last straw for Juventus that is far below expectations. Eliminated from the Champions League and the Italian Cup, they have lost their chances of winning the Scudetto and now have to fight to qualify for next season’s Champions League, currently sitting in fifth place.

The Serie A side hasn’t wasted time and has already found the coach’s replacement. It will be Igor Tudor, who is familiar with sitting on Juventus’ bench – having been Pirlo’s assistant – and will sign only for the remainder of the season, before starting a new rebuild in the summer.

The cited source claims that his announcement will happen within the next 24-48 hours, meaning that by Tuesday at the latest, Juventus will have a new coach.
