Juve sells players to pay for Motta's sacked team  - 1

The sacking of Thiago Motta and his team will cost Juventus around 15 million euros, which will probably be raised through the sale of players, informs "Gazzetta dello Sport", reported Topsport.

Therefore, the "bianconeri" will need to earn an additional 30 million euros by the end of June to remain in line with their financial targets and the scales set by UEFA, Serie A and others.

Juventus fired Motta and replaced him with Igor Tudor for the last 9 matches of the season. Motta had a contract until 2027, so Juventus will continue to pay his salary unless the coach finds a new club in the next two years.

One of the most obvious ways to earn this amount of 30 million euros is through player trades. An alternative is for holding company Exor to decide to make a new cash injection, which is very unlikely at this stage.

Former Juventus coach Fabio Capello has given advice to the new coach of the "Old Lady" - Igor Tudor, who replaced Thiago Motta in this position.

"I would have a very frank conversation with the team, something like: "You brought me here, now let's help each other". It takes off the mask and shows that everyone should be on the same side. "A coach cannot solve all the team's problems alone, especially when he has little time," Capello said, quoted by "Football Italia".

"The main thing Tudor will have to focus on is restoring order. Juventus needs normalization. We have had months of confusion, too much. Unclear roles on the pitch, strikers who play as defenders, captains who change from match to match.

Let's say this is a three-year project that must be completed in one year. The truth is that results are always the most important thing, especially for a club of such a high level as Juve," added the experienced coach.
