Recent reports suggest that Juventus is considering its former star player, Zinedine Zidane, as a potential replacement for current manager Thiago Motta. While Zidane is seen as a “dream” choice for the club, bringing him on board might be challenging.
This discussion comes as Motta faces growing pressure after a tough period for the team, which has raised questions about his future at the club.
🤔 A Familiar Face on the Radar
Zinedine Zidane, a legendary figure who played for Juventus, is reportedly the club’s top choice for the manager position. The 52-year-old coach has an impressive record, but he has been without a managerial role since leaving Real Madrid in 2021. Although he is a favorite, securing him might not be easy, making this move more of a long-term hope than an immediate plan.
📉 Pressure on Thiago Motta
The speculation around a new manager has grown after two difficult losses for Juventus in Serie A against Atalanta and Fiorentina. These results have left the team in fifth place with 52 points from 29 matches. The team’s recent performance has put Thiago Motta in a difficult position, leading the club to explore other options for leadership.
🧐 Other Possible Candidates
While Zidane is the ideal candidate, Juventus is also looking at more practical options. If the club decides to make a change, former Lazio coach Igor Tudor and current Saudi Arabia manager Roberto Mancini are considered more likely replacements for Motta. These alternatives suggest the club is preparing for a potential change in management soon.
