Thiago Motta has been linked with taking over as the head coach of AC Milan, and now Bologna’s CEO Claudio Fenucci has spoken about his future.
As this morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) reports that Motta is being targeted by Milan and Juventus ahead of the 2024-25 campaign given the impressive work that he has done with Bologna.
Not only that, but his contract with the Rossoblu expires at the end of the current campaign which means that he will be free to sign for another club without any compensation being owed.
Claudio Fenucci, the CEO of Bologna, has now spoken about the future of Motta beyond this season and the possibility of him potentially signing a contract extension.
“Renewal of Motta? We will meet his agent again and see if we can make some progress. There is no dead line. There’s too much talk about it,” he said.
“For me the future is not a factor of concern. There is too much talk about the future of Thiago and our players who are all registered for Bologna, a financially strong club.
“I would look more at the present as we are fighting for a great goal, which requires everyone’s concentration. We think game by game. I would like us to be more careful about living the path we are on.
“We will think in the future about how to improve the team, it will depend on the market. Motta and his staff work as if they had a long-term contract with this club.”
Clearly it will be difficult to keep an emerging manager like Motta for another year, and the paper states that both Milan and Juve know this and they are observing him closely.
Much will depend on the coach himself and what he wants to do, but yesterday his father-agent ruled out the idea of joining Napoli.
