Juventus Coach Motta Faces Pressure Amid Speculation on Future

Juventus coach Thiago Motta is under pressure following a 4-0 loss to Atalanta and a series of underwhelming performances, with the team struggling to secure a top-four finish in Serie A. Despite speculation about potential replacements, including Gian Piero Gasperini and Antonio Conte, Motta insists his focus is on the upcoming match against Fiorentina and has expressed confidence in the club's support. Dario Canovi, the father of Motta's agent, argues that the analysis of Motta's tenure has been unfair and emphasizes the challenges faced due to injuries and squad adjustments. As Juventus aims for Champions League qualification, it remains uncertain what Motta must achieve to retain his position, with a minimum expectation of a top-four finish being set. Luciano Moggi has raised concerns about Motta's relationship with the players, suggesting that his rigid approach may be contributing to the team's inconsistent performances. The coming weeks will be critical for Motta as he attempts to restore confidence and secure results needed to maintain his role.
