4 Potential Candidates to Succeed Motta in Case of His Departure

Doubts are growing about Thiago Motta's future at Juventus, despite assurances from sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli about his stay, following the embarrassing exit from the Coppa Italia against Empoli.

According to "Football Italia", Motta needs to improve his relationship with some players and develop the team's style in the remaining matches of the season, or even qualifying for the Champions League may not be enough to guarantee his continuation.

The site revealed a list of the top candidates to succeed Motta, which includes:

Antonio Conte: the preferred choice of the management, seen as the big dream to bring the team back to the top.

Gian Piero Gasperini: the successful Atalanta coach, who could be a suitable option to enhance the team's stability.

Igor Tudor: a coach known for his solid defensive approach, who could be a suitable option to enhance the team's stability.

Roberto Mancini: the former coach of the Italian national team, who has recently contacted some Serie A clubs about returning to coaching.

If Juventus decides to change coaches, they will need to make the decision before the start of the Club World Cup on June 14, as regulations prevent hiring a coach linked to another team in Serie A, with the season officially ending on June 30.

It is worth noting that Thiago Motta signed a contract with Juventus until June 2027, but his future has become highly uncertain as the end of the season approaches.
