Thiago Motta could return to Bologna and how will that affect Juventus?
Thiago Motta has been out of work since he was fired as manager of Juventus in March last year. He lasted less than a year in the job after being brought in to replace Massimiliano Allegri for the 2024–25 season.
The 43-year-old has since been linked with several vacant managerial positions, including at Real Sociedad, AS Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and Spartak Moscow. Motta is in no particular hurry to jump back into the coaching job, and according to Calciomercato.com, he wants to take as much time as possible to consider the next step to ensure that his next job is the right one. – Moreover, the money flows into the account every month.
There have been rumours in recent days that Motta could potentially return to his former club Bologna if they make the decision to part ways with current head coach Italiano.
Italiano led Bologna to their first Coppa Italia title in 51 years last season, securing a place in the Europa League in the process, but is currently on a poor run of results with only one Serie A win since the beginning of December.
The Rossoblu are now in 10th place in the table and risk dropping to the bottom of the table if they do not beat Parma this weekend at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
In the event that Bologna part ways with Italiano in the near future, it is expected that Motta will be among the candidates to replace him.

Although he left Juventus last March, Motta has not ended his contract yet, which means he is still entitled to a salary until the end of his contract in the summer of 2027.
Still receive a net salary of around 3 million euros per season from Juventus, which costs Juventus approximately 5,5 million euros gross. That salary would be removed from Juventus’ balance sheet in case Motta takes over at Bologna.
