Milan, 27 Mar (LaPresse) – ‘First of all I would like to thank Thiago Motta for his commitment, the relationship will remain one of mutual esteem and great respect. I believe he can be a coach at high levels and I wish him all the best’. So said Juventus cfo Cristiano Giuntoli during the press conference for the presentation of new coach Igor Tudor. ‘During the national break we took some time to analyse with a cool head how the season went and we decided to give the team and Juve a turn. The choice immediately went to Igor, not only for his past as a player in Juve, but for his technical, human and moral qualities. He will stay with us until the end of the season,' he added, ’including the Club World Cup, and then we will sit around a table in the hope of continuing together. Because we think he has the qualities to take our project forward,' he added. ‘We think this team can give great satisfaction in the future, given its young age and the experience of an extra year. This can guarantee us greater competitiveness,' Giuntoli said.
