Juventus director denies contacting Thiago Motta’s successor | OneFootball

Juventus coach Thiago Motta is under scrutiny, but club director Cristiano Giuntoli has denied contacting Igor Tudor after a 4-0 loss against Atalanta.

Juventus coach Thiago Motta is under contract until 2027, but poor results this season could convince the Bianconeri to change their manager for 2025-26.

It was reported that Giuntoli had already contacted ex-Juventus defender Tudor after a humiliating 4-0 loss against Atalanta, but according to Corriere dello Sport, the Bianconeri director has denied this.

Juventus are nine points below Serie A leaders Inter and have already been eliminated from the Champions League and Coppa Italia.

Sunday’s loss against Atalanta was their worst home defeat since 1967.

Giuntoli already confirmed trust in Thiago Motta less than a month ago, following Juventus’ Coppa Italia’s elimination at Empoli’s hands.

Antonio Conte, Gian Piero Gasperini, Tudor, Stefano Pioli and Roberto De Zerbi have been linked with replacing Motta in 2025-26 if Juventus decide to part company with the ex-Italy international.
