Thiago Motta’s future as Juventus manager is increasingly uncertain, with the coach under significant pressure to deliver results in the final stretch of the season.
While the team remains in contention for a top-four finish and a return to the Champions League, they must outperform their direct rivals to secure the final qualification spot. The competition is fierce, and Juventus will need a strong run of results to avoid missing out on European football’s elite tournament.
The season initially held great promise, with fans expecting Juventus to compete on multiple fronts and secure at least one trophy. However, their campaign has unravelled, leading to widespread disappointment. At the start of the year, the Bianconeri suffered an early setback by missing out on the Italian Super Cup. Their hopes of European success were also dashed when they were eliminated from the Champions League, followed by their exit from the Coppa Italia. As a result, their only remaining objective is to finish in the top four, a far cry from the ambitions set at the beginning of the season.
According to Il Bianconero, Motta is not the only figure under scrutiny at the club. The report suggests that Juventus executives Cristiano Giuntoli and Maurizio Scanavino are also facing mounting pressure. There is speculation that the club’s hierarchy may view this entire project as a failure and opt for a complete overhaul in the summer.
Juventus’ inability to meet expectations this season has left both the management and the squad under intense examination. A club of their stature is expected to challenge for major honours, and their struggles have raised concerns about the current leadership’s long-term vision. Should the team fail to secure Champions League qualification, it would not be surprising if sweeping changes are made at every level of the organisation.
With the pressure mounting, the coming weeks could be decisive for Motta and the Juventus leadership. The club’s hierarchy will be closely monitoring performances, and unless there is a significant upturn in results, Juventus could be heading for a major reset at the end of the campaign.

I believe all of them were bad hires. They way Giuntoli negotiated with Allegri. Again I’ve said many times in not a fan of Allegri, but last year Giuntoli clearly undermined him and therefore the club. That always rubbed me the wrong way. But this most certainly can be a knee jerk reaction. To me though, the Motta hire was a bad one, his track record wasn’t very indicative of being the next great coaching prospect. I think we just landed in a spot with little choices. It was either him or conte but conte would have been too complicated to swing so we ended up with Motta. Either he stays this term or leaves. I wish him the best but I do not think he is suitable for a club like Juve, at least not at this point in his coaching career. I think another 10 years and we would have a better understanding of what type of coach Motta will be.
Giuntoli’s cutthroat management perfectly mirrors Napoli’s notorious streetwise reputation. His relentless tactics and lack of scruples reveal a man who operates entirely without boundaries.
