Alessandro Costacurta, speaking to QS, explained, “Motta failed to replicate in Turin the special chemistry he had created with the players in Bologna. I believe that neither he nor the team were convincing in engaging with and accepting each other. At Juventus, the spark that needs to ignite within the environment and with the fans simply didn`t happen. This often occurs in the first year. Was leaving Bologna a mistake? Looking at the final outcome, yes. But one has to wonder if accepting that call was the right decision,” these are the words of the former AC Milan defender.
