L'Équipe claims that Juventus is thinking of replacing Motta with Xavi. Do you believe the rumour?
![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
Honestly I don't. At least I don't want to. Because it is too early to make such change. I don't think this is the same situation with the sacking of Nuri Şahin by Dortmund. The reason is that Dortmund had a really decent squad to do much more than being a middle-placed team in the standings.
However Juventus lack the strength for being a title contender with this squad. I have said many times. A great defense but poor offense. A better AM and CF would make serious difference. Motta should be given budget and then see what he will do later on.
these are just rumors not confirmed by newspapers and media, but I think that Thiago Motta will remain on the Juventus bench until the end of the championship because there is a whole project that revolves around him and the team that was built for him. the results are not exciting but until 3 days ago he was still undefeated in Serie A. I think we should still wait before seeing Thiago Motta fired, and are we then sure that Xavi would accept to coach a team once the championship has started? in my opinion no
