According to reports, today could indeed be Thiago Motta`s last day as Juventus coach, marking the end of a tumultuous week unprecedented in the club`s history. This would expose the insincerity of the management`s public support for the coach after two humiliating defeats, suggesting those words were merely for show.
The situation with the coach on one side and the locker room potentially on the other was deemed unsustainable. The search for a successor has reportedly narrowed down to Tudor and Mancini. Ultimately, it might be Tudor who prevails, as he has recently opened up to the possibility of a 4-month contract with an option to extend. Mancini, on the other hand, would only consider offers for at least 18 months.
It is now considered unlikely that Motta will remain until the Genoa match, even though a dismissal would further strain the club`s finances. Similar to what happened with Allegri, the club appears to have abandoned Thiago Motta, making him a scapegoat for a season where the responsibilities arguably lie higher up than just the coaching staff.
