Juventus is facing a period of uncertainty following a crushing 4-0 defeat against Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium.
The loss has intensified doubts about Thiago Motta’s future at the club, with speculation growing that his tenure may not extend beyond the current season.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Il Bianconero) , Juventus is expected to continue with Motta at least until the end of the season. However, securing a top-four finish and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League remains a crucial factor in determining whether he will stay.
Club officials want to see clear progress under Motta’s leadership, as well as an improvement in Juventus’ playing style, which has yet to show significant transformation.
Motta must also prove that he still commands the respect of the squad and can guide them through the challenges ahead. With several months remaining in the season, he has time to make his case, but his position remains precarious.
If Juventus decides to part ways with Motta, several high-profile candidates are reportedly being considered for the managerial role.
Among the top names linked to the job is Gian Piero Gasperini, the mastermind behind Atalanta’s recent victory over Juventus.
His tactical expertise and experience in Serie A make him a strong contender.
Another name in the mix is Antonio Conte, a former Juventus player and coach who previously led the club to multiple league titles. His return could provide a strong leadership presence and a winning mentality.
Additionally, Roberto De Zerbi, currently making waves with his attacking football philosophy, has emerged as a potential candidate.
His dynamic approach to the game has caught the attention of European clubs, and Juventus may consider him as a fresh alternative.
Juventus’ upcoming matches will be vital in determining both Motta’s future and the club’s direction moving forward.
With Champions League qualification at stake, the pressure is mounting. Whether Motta can steer the team back on course or if a managerial change is inevitable remains to be seen.
