Juventus will officially announce the new head coach, Thiago Motta, at the unveiling ceremony taking place tomorrow (July 18).
It is expected that 40,000 fans will fill Allianz Stadium to welcome Thiago Motta, in the launching ceremony starting at 2:00 p.m. on July 18 local time. A new dynasty will open with many expectations from talented young strategists.
One month earlier, Thiago Motta signed a contract until June 2027. In a message sent to Juventus fans, the former midfielder shared: “The new 2024/25 season will be very challenging with many matches. We hope to play as many matches as possible, because that means we are doing well. We will give our all on the field for the pride of the Juventus shirt.”
Thiago Motta will have 4 friendly matches to get acquainted with Juventus, including encounters with Nurnberg (July 27), Brest (August 3), Juventus Next Gen (August 6) and Atletico Madrid (August 11). ). Juventus’ Serie A campaign will start on August 19 with the reception of Como, a newly promoted team led by another former midfielder, Cest Fabregas.
Thiago Motta started his coaching career with the PSG U19 team in 2018, then moved on to coach Genoa, Spezia and Bologna. The born-in-1982 strategy resonated in Bologna when it helped this team win tickets to the Champions League for the first time, after finishing 5th in Serie A 2023/24.
Thiago Motta is highly appreciated for his attacking football philosophy and modern ideology. He once declared that he wanted to revolutionize tactics, and in fact Bologna used to play with a super-attacking 2-7-2 scheme, in which the goalkeeper was also counted as a defender participating in developing the ball.
With the appointment of Thiago Motta, Juventus hopes to get out of the dark period and return to the title race. In the last 4 Serie A seasons, the Turin team failed to reach the Top 2 at the end of the season.
