Waiting for the meeting between coach and owners which could take place in the next few hours: the Italian-Brazilian first choice of Juventus
Before the celebration of the splendid present, the Bologna he could already plan for the future and see Thiago Motta with the eyes of the past. The extraordinary rossoblù championship will be celebrated in the city on Wednesday afternoon, with the team going around the streets in an open-top bus to celebrate the qualification for the Champions League, but a few hours before it could take place the meeting between the miracle coach and the owners to understand whether to continue together. The protagonists of the story, obviously, did not want to specify the precise date of the summit, the well-informed speak precisely of Todayand in any case it won’t go beyond Thursday given that the owner Saputo will leave Italy and the team will be in training camp ahead of the last match of the season against Genoa.
On the table, obviously, is Bologna’s desire to confirm a coach who has made everyone agree with his play and results, on the other, the legitimate ambition of Thiago Motta who sees on the horizon the first great chance of his career to coach a big team . It is no coincidence that the Juventus has been pressing on him for some time, he is the figure chosen by Cristiano Giuntoli to restart after the Allegri cycle – which ended rather abruptly – and return to fighting for the scudetto.
Bologna’s love should not be underestimated, nor should it be underestimated economic possibilities of Saputo, which will play not only on the romantic aspect of the story but on the challenge of playing on the field for the Champions League won this year. And yet the economic resources of the rossoblù ownership will hardly be able to stem heavy departures like those of Calafiori (coincidentally from a black and white perspective…) e Zirkzee. And then repeating yourself is always complicated, just ask Spalletti why he chose to leave Naples after the scudetto…
“We will do everything to keep him” said Saputo, “We will talk about the future with the president and what we decide we will communicate together” was echoed by Thiago Motta. A nice dribble which however doesn’t seem entirely convincing: Juve is waiting for him, and he’s waiting for the moment to say yes. There needs to be the right balance between not ruining the party in Bologna and announcing the next step in his career, the timing is all there.
