Juve, none other than Thiago Motta: Mazzarri emerges as next coach | “More suited to a 3-man defense”

Mazzarri is a suitable profile for the Juventus bench, he can enhance the squad by focusing on a three-man defense

There is about a month left until the end of the season for the Juventus who is still in the running for two goals. Let’s start from the Italian Cup where the second leg of the semi-final at the Olimpico against Lazio awaits, with a double advantage to manage in the next ninety minutes to play for a trophy that has been missing for three years.

But it is the qualification for the next one Champions League the goal to be achieved at all costs in order to better plan the following year, which will coincide with the return to Europe and participation in the first edition of the Club World Cup.

Third place momentary in the standings and the fact that there will be five Italian teams participating in the top European competition reassures the whole environment, given that the decline of the last period has made an objective that was within reach no longer so obvious to achieve.

It is very likely that he will no longer be coaching the Bianconeri Max Allegri. His second spell in Turin was less fortunate than the first and seems to have come to an end after three years without a win.

Two names in contention for the Juventus bench, not just Thiago Motta

The favorite to take the place of the Livorno coach is Thiago Motta, close to the feat of qualifying Bologna for the Champions League. With the blue it would also be a tactical revolution given the young coach’s desire to carry forward an offensive football proposal.

In the case of his arrival there would also be a change of formation with the return to the four-man defense while in the name of continuity it would be the possible arrival of Walter Mazzarrieager to make up for it after the unfortunate experience in Naples, which ended with his dismissal.

Strengths and weaknesses of Mazzarri’s way of coaching, would it be the right name for Juve?

Mazzarri was among the first in Italy to propose the three-man defense with five midfielders and two full-backs. The salvation obtained against Reggina was memorable, starting with over 10 points deducted.

The ability of one must be emphasized to Walter tactical flexibility which he is able to contribute based on the team he finds himself coaching but his idea of ​​football seems out of step with the times, so much so as to result in the downward trajectory of his career as a coach.
