Thiago Motta prepares for a new step

Thiago Motta is preparing to return to coaching next summer, with the Italian manager increasingly focused on pursuing a new opportunity outside his home country. After a period away from the touchline, Motta has dedicated recent months to personal development, including an intensive English course that signals his readiness to consider offers from abroad. His reputation, strengthened by his previous spell at Juventus, has attracted interest from several foreign clubs exploring options for the coming season.

Although Motta’s priority is an overseas project, remaining in Serie A cannot be ruled out. Atalanta are reportedly evaluating him as a potential candidate should they make changes ahead of next year. With the summer market approaching and numerous coaching vacancies expected across Europe, Motta’s next destination is likely to become clearer soon. The 43‑year‑old appears determined to choose a project that aligns with his ambitions after taking time to refine his approach off the pitch.
