Juventus legend Leonardo Bonucci has urged the club’s hierarchy to remain patient with head coach Thiago Motta, despite the team’s recent struggles. In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Bonucci advised Juventus to put their faith in Motta and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli to turn the team’s fortunes around. Bonucci’s comments came in the wake of Juventus’ 4-0 defeat to Atalanta, which has left the Bianconeri eight points adrift of league leaders Inter. Despite the setback, Bonucci remains confident that Motta can lead the team back to winning ways but emphasized the need for patience.
“Give Motta and Giuntoli time to create the foundations to return to winning ways,” Bonucci said.
The Juventus legend acknowledged that Motta’s project is still in its infancy and requires time to mature.
“Motta now has a fluctuating project, but we need to give him confidence for at least another year to create the conditions to win,” Bonucci explained.
However, he also cautioned that Motta must continue to grow and learn from his experiences, particularly the unique challenges of coaching a high-profile club like Juventus.
Bonucci’s words of encouragement come at a critical juncture for Juventus, with the team’s title hopes dwindling. However, the club’s hierarchy would do well to heed Bonucci’s advice and afford Motta the time and patience he needs to implement his vision and restore Juventus to its former glory.
