Thiago Motta's position is dangerously creaking, Atalanta was on fire

Manos Staramopoulos • 10 de marzo de 2025

The collapse against Atalanta, has put Juventus coach Thiago Motta in an extremely difficult position.

Thiago Motta head coach of Juventus FC in  2024.

The rocket-powered Atalanta "devoured" the anemic and offensively harmless Juventus. They rewarded them with four goals and even inside the Allianz, their home, with the Bergamaschi sending a title message.


Juventus did not manage to create a single suspicious phase in a whole 90 minutes. Therefore, they were rightly defeated by Gasperini's excellent Atalanta. The efficiency they demonstrated allowed them to score four goals in Turin and remain on track for the title, three points away from the leader Inter.


The score was opened in the 29th minute by international forward Matteo Reteghi with a well-aimed penalty kick (he reached 22 goals in Serie A), while Maarten De Roon then took the lead in the 49th minute, Davide Zappacosta in the 66th minute, and Ademola Lookman added the icing on the cake in the 77th minute.

There are many who argue that he is still young as a coach and it is logical that he makes many mistakes due to his lack of experience. Juventus, however, should have known that this is not ... Bologna (he had done brilliantly there).


In Turin, the world of the once powerful Juventus is difficult but above all accustomed to successes. And he cannot accept such failures. At the moment, however, the technical director, Cristiano Giuntoli, seems to be taking a cautious stance, waiting to see what the strong man of the team, Johnny Elkann, will tell him.


He is the leader of a group that controls 14 brands, with production facilities in 29 countries, employs 400,000 people and is present in more than 130 markets. And the heir to the large fortune of his grandfather, Gianni Agnelli, who created it...
