Bologna are the surprise of the season. So far, they are in fourth position in the Serie A standings with 54 points after 29 matches. It is all thanks to Thiago Motta, the coach who was able to use the squad he has available and get the most out of them. If they continue like this, which is the goal for Bologna, they will be in the Champions League competition next season.
Everyone around the world has now taken notice of Bologna and its coach, but it is really in Italy where the big clubs are seriously considering Motta for the next season. AC Milan and Juventus are very keen, according to Calciomercato.com, with Juve in the front row.
In the coming months, Juve's director Cristiano Giuntoli will decide whether Massimiliano Allegri will continue to lead the Bianconeri next season or not, and in case of a change, the former Italo-Brazilian midfielder is, to date, the most convincing candidate.
Napoli, on the other hand, is more discreet. Last summer, after parting ways with Spalletti, they had already tried to focus on Motta. Meanwhile, he continues to work on his Bologna side and, even in recent days, has tried to evade questions about his future "I am happy and proud of these links, when the future comes, I will think about it".
