here I wanted to make a point on the matter, we are all focused on the Champions League and on Thiago Motta at Juventus, but who will coach Bologna now? Next season will be very tough and on top of that they will also have the commitment of the Cup, it is not a small thing.
Now they are in an emergency.

It's true! Bologna fans are simply enjoying the moment, and rightly so. I totally agree with what you say, all fans should be like this, instead for some unknown reason there are always diatribes with opposing fans, I don't actually know why but that's how it is. I remember once they introduced the third half, called that because of fair play... It was short-lived LOL and who knows why

among other things I see Bologna fans very relaxed, I don't see angry people but they always support their team and if they win they are happy and drink a nice beer in honor of the victory
this is how football and fandom should be, I take inspiration from Rugby, at the end of the match the losers and winners go drinking, and they win! This is what sport should do

regarding Thiago Motta, well they will look for another coach..

Bologna have had an incredible season and their fans are very happy. They had an extraordinary season, but now come the first problems, Thiago Motta has now signed for Juventus and most probably Zirkzee will leave Bologna. They will have to face next season and the new Champions League without their key men, will the new coach and new players be able to continue what T.Motta did last year?

The season ended very good for them because qualifying to the champions League is what every club would wish for themselves, I'm sure that before Bologna started the league they never believe that they will even be able to get to the 6 position of the table let alone qualifying for the next season champions league, perhaps that's why is good for a club to have an understanding and vision because that would be there source of determination, however Napoli on the other hand was a club I was actually thinking they will go very far on the league but they failed, it was actually surprising because with there level of performance on there previous seasons they were actually supposed to at least qualified for the champions League next season, and funny enough even Roma was far better than Napoli because they were the only competitor against Bologna.

I do agree that they have the talent, I always said that what they are lacking was alternatives. They had some injury issues this season, and when you have just one player injured, then I am sure you have at least one great player at bench that you can put in, a versatile player that can play in many different positions to cover that missing player.

But, if you have like 3-4 injured players then you are going to be in trouble (booked ones included) which means that you need a lot of player who can be alternatives. Juventus got unlucky, had a lot of players injured or booked, and they had absolutely nobody on the sides that could be played. They really need to figure out how to get players that would be willing to wait on the sideline.

Roma was unable to qualify for the next Champions League because of Atalanta taking its games seriously at the end of the season. Roma will play in European competitions next season, but Napoli, who won the Seria A league the previous season finished in 10th position this season. I was disappointed that Napoli would not compete in the next Champions League, despite having a top striker like Osimehn. These two teams must improve their games next season to have a chance to finish in the top four.


That was not a rumor, Thiago Motta has already signed a contract as a new Juventus manager, after having a great season with Bologna Motta decided to move to Juventus next season. Many people praised Motta for his outstanding performance this season, and he agreed to accept an offer from Juventus. However, he did a great job for Bologna, they finished in 9 position last season, while they ended up in 5th position this season, and qualified for the next Champions League. Thiago Motta may be the best manager for Juventus, despite this being his only successful season. But, since Juventus will compete in the next Champions League, I think they may hire a manager with an impressive history of winning trophies.

very true, they had a spectacular season!
they even did better than Roma who started with fireworks and even better than Napoli who has a champion like Osimhen among its players
I was really surprised, the revelation of this season in fact is Bologna, well done!

in my humble opinion Thiago Motta can make the difference, young and ambitious he has everything to prove and consequently he will commit himself a lot
then with players of another level he will be able to do some not insignificant tests, in my opinion
better than the stagnant situation of now

If look at how Juventus is playing this season, they actually have more than enough front line players to be able to make mess of the opponent defense, they can play very well when making attacks.
Just look at Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa and also those who always perform amazingly, assisted by several other midfield players, making these two players really very sharp when assigned as the leading players in match.
What needs to be done is to add defensive line players, several times Juventus defense has experienced significant decline in performance which makes it even more difficult to block counterattacks from opponents.
I think Thiago Motta will do what he thinks is good for Juventus and make it easier for them to develop well to win the Scudetto next season.

The point is that we shouldn't underestimate someone's abilities just from the achievements they haven't received, let alone a prestigious title. I think Xabi Alonso learned a lot about being a coach and how to make a team strong and able to survive even under pressure from opponents. Motta may not have the achievements yet. Even though he can only bring Bologna to the best position in the standings this season and also qualify for the UCL competition next season, with time, everything will definitely be achieved if he doesn't waste the opportunity as the new head manager at Juventus.

Next season the competition will definitely be tougher, maybe Juventus should be able to change the players they have. The most important thing is to add players in the front line so they can be more productive in scoring goals as well as in the back line so that the defense is also strong and doesn't concede goals easily, I hope Also, Motta will bring something new to Juventus compared to Allegri, who has actually not been very good at managing Juventus in several seasons.

He doesn't have a big success in the past but he is getting better in time which is more important.    First a 9th-finish by Bologna and now a 5th one. He helped the team get to the Champions League so this is great progress.

We can take Xabi Alonso as an example also. He didn't have even any manager experience until coming to Leverkusen. I mean only managing a U21 team before. But we have all seen what he has done so far. I don't say Motta is guaranteed to be like him but he has potential to be one of the very good managers of our time. But to make this happen first he needs to make some immediate additions to Juventus squad this summer. 

Bologna had a marvellous season there is absolutely no doubt about that, but the hype around Motta doesn't seem like a good one to me. This dude hasn't had "that" much of a success aside from this season, he hasn't done much else but keep Bologna high at the Serie A for one single season to be considered such a good catch.

Don't get me wrong, maybe he will do fine at Juventus and that is understandable but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up seeing him do that great, it could go either way. I feel like he is being overhyped though, he is not going to be insanely well, I think Juventus still has a lot of trouble that they need to take care of and as long as they have that, it is not going to be really that great for them.

I also hope that with Juventus' condition last season, at least next season there will be significant changes and the arrival of Tihago Motta can at least change the style of play applied by Massimiliano Allegri, it is clear that mistakes were made at the start.   season and at the end of the season, Juventus wasted too many points and lost the title race to Inter Milan, hopefully this can be a motivation for Juventus with its new coach and have a positive impact.   impact on the Juventus squad next season.

yes I totally agree with what you say
I was saying something else that I think is very important, I would say fundamental, ergo they had already contacted Thiago Motta for a long time, otherwise the flash contract cannot be explained
these things are not quick, it takes time, so they had already decided for a long time

Yes, Bologna managed to get tickets to the UCL next season and this was quite satisfying success under the leadership of coach Thiago Motta and this is also what made Juventus interested in having Thiago Motta as their new coach.
Some people, especially Bologna fans, really hope that Thiago Motta can at least stay and lead Bologna in participating in the UCL competition or fighting for the Serie A title next season but everything is not going as expected.
Thiago Motta received more promising offer with Juventus and this is very logical reason if Thiago Motta prefers to accept the offer made to him by Juventus.

After all, Juventus has much better support than Bologna and together Juventus can provide ai much bigger opportunity for Thiago Motta, this is good opportunity and indeed the right decision in my opinion.
He is also still quite young as coach, there will be big positive impact if over the next few seasons he is able to bring Juventus to success in winning the title.

I really hope so my friend, after 2 truly disastrous years I want, or rather I demand, a normal season
at least we will play in the Champions League next season, so its fine like this from my point of view
everything else that comes is all free, I am already happy like this

I think he made his best move right now and hopefully will put Juventus back on title fight because this team currently doesn't have a squad who can fight for title next year but with some transfers he can make this happen.

Also , did bologna found another replacing coach ? because time is short and UCL preps take a long time in order to have a decent run and for Bologna to play in UCL is a historical moment and I'm sure they want to get at least 3rd place that will place them in Europa League.

Simone Inzaghi deserves to extend his contract with Inter Milan after having a good season, I believe they will offer him a new contract soon after completing extending the player's contract, especially Lautaro Martinez, who they are set to extend his contract until 2029. Lautaro Martinez is the key player of the club, he is the most goals in Seria A this season. If inter milan keeps Simone Inzaghi as manager, I believe they will do more for the club.


Juventus has already hired a new coach to lead the team next season. However, it seems like the management has realized the problem they are facing this season. Juventus have not been lucky this season, despite winning the Coppa Italian and qualifying for the next Champions League, I did not expect Juventus to have a difficult time winning their games this season because they do not participate in any European competition, but they still struggled to win their games. Juventus has announced Thiago Matter as the new head coach. Many people think that Juventus would not fire their former coach after winning the Coppa Italian, but I stated that winning the trophy does not change anything, they need to change their coach because they will play in different competitions next season, and they need more players to improve their games.

It is a good question. Thiago Motta's success at Bologna in 2 years was very impressive. Maybe he would have a Xabi Alonso effect on Juventus as well.    Thiago Motta is also a dynamic and promising manager.

People will criticize Juventus for this choice anyway though. Because he hasn't proven his skills with a big team yet. I'm not criticizing but having doubts for now. Because we don't see every such character dealing with managing a much bigger team. You have much bigger responsibilities and you will absolutely feel that pressure over your shoulders.   

By the way he will need this squad to be strengthened above all else. Juventus still has weak areas that is like an obstacle to stay in the title race.
