Bologna coach Thiago Motta has made the decision not to renew his contract with Bologna FC 1909, marking the end of a successful tenure at the club. After leading Bologna to Champions League qualification for the first time in their history, Motta’s departure is a significant loss for the team. His departure was confirmed by the club in a statement, expressing gratitude for his contributions and wishing him well in his future endeavors.
According to Italian media reports, Thiago Motta is expected to make a move to Juventus, potentially replacing Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri was recently sacked by Juventus due to behavior deemed incompatible with the club’s values. Bologna and Juventus faced each other in a thrilling 3-3 draw, with Paolo Montero taking charge of Juventus after Allegri’s departure. Motta’s Bologna team currently sits third in the standings, ahead of Juventus on goal difference as they approach the final weekend of the season.
Thiago Motta has won over Bologna fans with his results and style of play, implementing possession-based football with an advanced press and building from the back. Despite initial skepticism when he took over in 2022, Motta managed to guide Bologna to a ninth-place finish last season. Under his leadership, Bologna has been a surprise package this season, losing only five games compared to 12 defeats in the previous season. Meanwhile, Juventus has struggled in their title bid, with just two wins in their last 16 league games.
As Bologna prepares to face Genoa in their final game of the season, the team will bid farewell to Thiago Motta, who has left a lasting impact on the club. His move to Juventus represents a new chapter in his coaching career, as he looks to make his mark at one of Italy’s most prestigious clubs. The departure of Motta will undoubtedly be felt by Bologna, as they reflect on the successes achieved under his guidance.
