How much will cost Juventus to sack Thiago Motta

Thiago Motta future at Juventus remains uncertain, as his disappointing results continue to put him under scrutiny.

However, any decision regarding his dismissal is closely tied to the significant financial implications it would entail.

The Italo-Brazilian manager, who is under contract until 2027 with an annual net salary of €3.5 million plus bonuses. And would cost the club approximately €15 million in severance if they decide to part ways.

When factoring in his coaching staff’s salaries, the total expense could rise to around €20 million.

Beyond these immediate costs, Juventus also faces the financial risk of missing out on Champions League qualification.

It’s not finish only with Thiago Motta dissmisal?

Failing to secure a top-four finish in Serie A would lead to an estimated €50 million loss in revenue from European competition. This would compound the financial burden of Motta’s dismissal.

Additionally, hiring a replacement would require further investment. Both in terms of salary and potential compensation if the new coach is currently contracted elsewhere.

Given these factors, Juventus must carefully evaluate whether absorbing such a financial hit is justified or if they should back Motta in hopes of a turnaround.

The club’s decision will have long-term implications, extending far beyond just on-field performance.
