In an interview, former Inter, Reggina, Siena, and Lecce defender, Bruno Cirillo, also spoke about Juventus: «Juventus is a top team, which always aims for victory. With Thiago Motta, whom I still consider a valid and significant emerging coach, an interesting project had been launched, but the hoped-for results were slow in coming. Coaching Juventus is not like coaching Bologna; there are different players and another type of pressure on the team and the coach.»
“Arriving and doing well immediately is not a given. It is understandable that in a moment of maximum difficulty, the club decided to switch to another profile. I played with Tudor in my career, he has a strong mentality and knows the Juventus environment well, I am sure he can make his contribution.»
