Juventus had hoped to terminate their contract with Thiago Motta, but their plans have been put on hold. The club appointed the 43-year-old Italo-Brazilian manager in the summer of 2024, but he had a disappointing eight-month tenure before being let go in March.
Motta was chosen by the club's former Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli due to his achievements at Bologna. However, he struggled in Turin, leading to his departure after consecutive losses to Atalanta and Fiorentina.
Since his departure from Juventus, Motta has been linked to several coaching positions, but none have come to fruition, leaving him and his staff on Juve's payroll.
No official statement has been released by the club or Motta regarding the rejection of the Real Sociedad offer.
