Juventus may be entering the fight for Bologna head coach Thiago Motta as anger grows around Massimiliano Allegri’s leadership of the team after another defeat.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, the Bianconeri may be in the frame for a new coach come the end of the season, along with Napoli and perhaps even AC Milan.
Stefano Pioli still has a year left on his contract but if the rumours are to be believed, he may be replaced at the end of the season unless the Rossoneri manage to win the Europa League and finish strongly in Serie A.
Bologna are currently fourth under Motta and are the most likely side to secure a place in the Champions League beneath Inter, Juventus and Milan.
Juventus were keeping pace with Inter in a battle for the Serie A title but a terrible recent run means they are just fighting with Milan for second.
Motta is very hot property and could be Milan’s first choice if they decide to part ways with Pioli, especially because it would potentially make it easier to sign Joshua Zirkzee as the new striker at the same time.
Allegri’s decision to sub on Joseph Nonge against Napoli and then take the 18-year-old off after giving away a penalty has also caused his popularity to drop.
