Is Motta already on the brink? – Football style
Views: 28
The game at the Franchi awaiting Juventus for the 29th round could already be decisive regarding the future of its coach, who could replace him?
The resumption of training is expected today after the heavy defeat against Atalanta, which in just 90 minutes swept away all hopes fueled by the conquest of the temporary fourth place in the last round.
Yesterday, Thiago Motta had the opportunity to discuss the project in a conversation with Cristiano Giuntoli, who does not seem to be fully satisfied with the results achieved so far. Under scrutiny would be the problems related to tactical setup of the matches, the relationships with the players, and the lack of communication, a factor that would have significantly influenced both aspects.
The next challenge, which will see the Bianconeri playing away against Fiorentina, seems to have been indicated by the management as the last chance for Motta, the same management that until a few months ago had decided to entrust him with a multi-year project, placing full trust in the former coach of Genoa, Spezia, and Bologna.
The candidates for the Juventus bench
If the rumors about the coach from Sao Bernardo Do Campo leaving the Vinovo fields were to become true, the names that management seems to have considered for a possible post-Motta are mainly 4, some of which are also recent developments, could only be released once the season is over.
The names under consideration seem to be those of Roberto Mancini and Igor Tudor, in case another defeat were to occur, this time on the Franchi field, which could put an end to Thiago Motta’s journey with Juventus.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there are also some names that could become concrete options only at the end of the season, due to previous agreements with other teams. These include Antonio Conte, Gian Piero Gasperini, and Stefano Pioli.

Juventus, Spalletti, and Mancini demand guarantees

Luciano Spalletti and Roberto Mancini remain the top options for the Juventus bench, but both are seeking assurances beyond an 8-month contract.
The Options for the Bianconeri Bench
The situation for the Juventus bench is in the spotlight, with Luciano Spalletti and Roberto Mancini emerging as the leading candidates. However, both coaches do not seem inclined to accept a contract of only 8 months, preferring instead an agreement that offers more long-term guarantees. This poses a challenge for the Juventus management, who must carefully evaluate the available options to lead the team.
Other Alternatives and Risks
Raffaele Palladino presents an interesting solution, especially due to his past with technical director Modesto at Monza. Palladino is among the few who could accept the challenge of a contract until June, with a possible renewal option. In the background, there are also foreign possibilities, but these come with significant risks. Many of the proposed foreign coaches are not familiar with Italian football and do not speak the language, a critical factor for those taking over mid-season and needing to make an immediate impact.

The situation for the bench remains as outlined this morning: Luciano #Spalletti (intriguing #Comolli) and Roberto #Mancini (great rapport with #Chiellini) remain the top options, but both are not inclined to accept an 8-month contract and want assurances. Raffaele #Palladino (has already worked with td #Modesto at Monza) highly appreciated among young Italians and currently one of the few who would accept the challenge of an agreement until June with a possible option. This is why he should be kept an eye on, all the more if the ownership of #Juve does not open up to a third coach on the payroll with a multi-year bond. In the background are foreign options, with numerous coaches proposed to the Bianconeri executives in recent days. However, this would be a leap in the dark, as most of these coaches do not know Italian football and do not speak our language. For those who take over mid-season, it is indeed necessary to make an immediate impact. #calciomercato x.com/NicoSchira/status/1982779473805054002

Hellas Verona shines with loans: from Cissè to Lambourde
Views: 16
The summer transfer market has revolutionized Hellas Verona, which has sent some players on loan to Serie B to help them grow and blossom in the future.
These are operations carried out in a short time and with an advantageous formula, ensuring their return in June 2026. Among them, some players are standing out.
Hellas Verona, Cissé, Tavsan, and Lambourde impress everyone in Serie B
Some transfers made during the last transfer window are at risk of becoming true masterpieces thanks to the talent of the players involved that is flourishing more and more. The Serie B has always been a great stage for young players coming from the top category and looking for space to grow.
In this case as well, the trend is confirmed with three specific Gialloblu players: Alphadjo Cissé, Elayis Tavsan, and Mathis Lambourde.
The three are playing respectively for Catanzaro and Reggiana (the last two are teammates). What surprises and is surprising both fans of the two teams and those of Hellas Verona is the incredible performance that these players are offering.
For the first one, there are already 4 goals in the league in 9 total appearances, making him the top scorer of Calabria’s team so far. The midfielder born in 2006 is showing great personality and important ballistic skills, as one of these goals came directly from a free kick. His young age could be an opportunity for Hellas, which will probably integrate him into the squad at the end of the season unless there are irresistible offers.
As for the other two, they wear the same shirt and compete for the same spot in Coach Dionigi’s lineup. Often one replaces the other, but both have managed to score at least once. Tavsan is in his second season in Serie B after the season with Cesena, which ended with 4 goals and 3 assists in 28 games, while this time he has already scored 3 goals and 1 assist in 9 appearances. The relay with his teammate Lambourde doesn’t seem to scare him, on the contrary, it has spurred him to do even better.
Lastly, the French player arrived in Verona with the label of a potential star from Rennes, but in Serie A, he didn’t find much space although he managed to score his first goal in his debut against Como after just 7 minutes. In the Granata shirt, he has already made 5 appearances, with 2 goals to his name, and even started in the last match against Bari.
In short, three talents that are making a name for themselves in the Serie B and are almost ready for the big jump with the Gialloblu shirt. At the end of the season, they will all return to the base, and at that point, it will be up to Zanetti, or whoever, to decide whether to keep them and definitively launch them into the first team (regardless of the category) or loan them out again.
