Thiago Motta's early farewell risks turning into a double failure for Juventus: not only technical, but also economic. The Italian-Brazilian coach's project has foundered after just nine months, and his exoneration will weigh heavily on the Bianconeri's accounts. Indeed, the club will have to shell out nearly 15 million euros, a figure that complicates the financial targets imposed by Exor, the holding company that controls the club. After last year's €200 million capital increase, Exor had asked Juventus to achieve financial self-sufficiency by 2026-2027, with a cap of €32 million in losses for 2024-2025. However, the severance of Motta and his staff makes this goal more difficult to achieve, forcing the club to revise its market strategies. The former Bologna coach, in fact, had signed a three-year deal until 2027 for 3.5 million euros net per season, and his departure forces the club to also rethink its choice of the next coach, to avoid further costs that could make a new recapitalization inevitable.
