Blow for Juventus as Thiago Motta Turns Down Real Sociedad
Juventus' plans to terminate their contract with Thiago Motta have been delayed. The club appointed the 43-year-old Italo-Brazilian manager in summer 2024, but he had a miserable eight months in Turin before being let go in March.
Motta was chosen by former Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli due to his achievements at Bologna. However, after back-to-back losses to Atalanta and Fiorentina, he was dismissed.
Since his departure, Motta has been linked to several positions, but no concrete developments have occurred. As a result, he and his staff remain on Juventus' payroll, with Motta earning a net salary of €3.5 million until June 2027.
Thiago Motta's contract is valid until June 2027.
