Luciano Moggi, the former general manager of Juventus, recently shared his views on the current state of the club. In an interview with Adnkronos, Moggi commented on Juventus’ performance, highlighting the challenges they face and pointing out specific errors made by Cristiano Giuntoli and Thiago Motta.
“At this moment, Juventus is difficult to judge,” Moggi stated. “They started a new project in July, and it takes time; a team isn’t built in five months or even a year. Injuries have greatly complicated things, but once the emergency ends, results will improve.”
Discussing the team’s prospects, Moggi remarked, “Juventus is not equipped to win the Scudetto. The objective can be fourth place because three teams—Napoli, Atalanta, and Inter—are stronger. It won’t be easy to achieve, but it’s within reach if Vlahovic and Gonzalez can recover soon.”
Moggi also pointed out specific mistakes: “Errors have been made. Giuntoli should not have bought Douglas Luiz; he would have been better off staying in the Premier League. Thiago Motta errs by playing Koopmeiners too far forward with his back to goal, where he is less effective. Additionally, the coach made a big mistake at Lecce by bringing on young players at the end, giving the impression that the match was over when it wasn’t, leading to Rebic’s equalizer in the 93rd minute.”
On potential transfers, Moggi suggested, “More than one adjustment is needed; it seems this team lacks leaders. Bremer was one such leader but unfortunately will return next year due to a severe injury. Given the financial situation, I think Juve can make at most one purchase unless they manage to sell someone. I would sell Douglas Luiz instead of Fagioli, who has shown in the past to be an excellent player.”
