REVEALED: Rift growing between coach Motta and Juventus players

After eliminations of the Coppa Italia and Champions League, Juve will falter the past week. The Bianconeri are also outside the top four.

Il Corriere della Sera says that after their defeat of Coppa Penalty Shootout against Empoli, an unnamed player complained to a friend about Motta.

“I can't stand Thiago's motta, and I'm not the only one,” the player told his confidant. “You never know what to expect, from a starter to 90 minutes on the couch.”

Although the players are frustrated by Motta, they are also convinced that he can develop into a top class coach, despite his management issues.
