A second life. Since he hung up his crampons on May 19, 2018 during an interplay between Paris Saint-Germain and Caen, Thiago Motta has embarked on a coaching career. He started in the French capital, where he led the U19s. Then, he returned to Italy in 2019 to manage a professional team. It was in Genoa that he had the chance to start. But the experience had been short-lived since he had been fired two months after taking office.
A second career with an Italian accent
Without a club, he took advantage of his free time to graduate while continuing to improve. In July 2021, he was appointed coach of La Spezia. But his record (11 wins, 6 draws and 23 losses) has not really been very good. In June 2022, he left the club by mutual consent after one season with two years left on his contract. He quickly rebounded as he took charge of Bologna last September to replace Sinisa Mihajlovic, who died in December.
Since his arrival, the former PSG midfielder has a record of 14 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses in all competitions. His team is in ninth place two days from the end of Serie A. With 50 points on the clock, it is already maintained. Mission successful therefore for Thiago Motta. A coach who may well not last forever in Bologna this summer. Despite his club’s desire to move forward with him, the Italian-Brazilian has a high rating on the coaching market.
Three clubs on his trail
It’s no secret that Paris Saint-Germain are always thinking of him. Nasser Al Khelaïfi appreciates him a lot and he has supporters within the Ile-de-France team. However, his case is discussed because he still lacks experience. Another French team is thinking of him. Indeed, Nice is very interested in his profile according to The team. But he is not the priority since Graham Potter is Ineos’ No. 1 candidate as revealed exclusively by us.
Finally, Thiago Motta could also continue on the other side of the Alps. The Italian press assures that he is among the targets of Juventus to take over from Massimiliano Allegri, who is more threatened than ever. The Bologna coach pleases the management, which also has Igor Tudor (OM) in mind. Without much experience, Thiago Motta still retains an exceptional rating on the coaching market. The former player, who wants to continue in Bologna, will meet his leaders at the end of the season to make a point according to the Gazzetta dello Sport. The opportunity also to know more about its future.
