Thiago Motta is the front-runner to take over as the next Bianconeri manager, and it appears that the Serie A powerhouse Juventus will appoint him.

Juve and Milan have both been connected to Motta, and it appears that the Old Lady is the clear frontrunner to become the Bologna leader. Gianluca di Marzio recently spoke with Sky Italia (via IlBianconero) regarding Max Allegri’s future and potential successor as Old Lady head.

He claimed that the cycles of both Juventus and Milan under their current managers are coming to an end. Currently, Motta is the front-runner to take over as Juve’s manager, and Allegri is certain to leave at the end of the current campaign, even if Bianconeri executives have supported the Italian in interviews.

Even Milan may be debating whether to name Julen Lopetegui as their next manager given that the supporters don’t seem to be pleased with the selection.

Max Allegri and Stefano Pioli may be sent packing at the end of the season, as Di Marzio maintained that both teams have reached the end of a cycle.

In addition, Di Marzio disclosed that Motta had already indicated his availability for Juventus, reiterating Allegri’s termination from Continassa.

The 41-year-old is having a fantastic season with Bologna, who are about to achieve a historic Champions League qualifying.

With a victory versus Udinese this afternoon, the Rossoblu, who are presently fourth in the standings, would have a chance to pass Juventus for third position.

Therefore, Juve have already decided who they want to replace Max with if they decide to break company with Allegri in a few months.

Whatever your opinion regarding Motta’s readiness to move up to a team like Juventus, where he will be expected to rebuild a team that is a complete mess and will require numerous additional support come the summer transfer window, his accomplishments with Bologna cannot be disregarded.

With their current fourth-place finish, he has managed to propel the squad with the eighth-lowest salary bill in Serie A into the Champions League. (Really, Bologna’s payroll is less than Juventus’s combined salary for Paul Pogba, Adrien Rabiot, and Dusan Vlahovic.)
