Thiago Motta shines at Juventus – PSG misses out on great luck!

A remarkable development in the field of football recently took place when Thiago Motta, the former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player, has already achieved promising success with his new commitment at the helm of Juventus. One game that drew attention to his coaching start was the win against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League. Motta, who wore PSG colors between 2012 and 2018, is often mentioned as an ideal candidate for the coaching position at his former club.

In a passionate commentary during the After Foot program on RMC Sport, television journalist Daniel Riolo expressed his disappointment at the missed opportunity to hire Motta as PSG coach. Riolo, who has always supported Motta's appointment, regrets that the club did not take the opportunity to hire such a talented coach. "It pains me to see Thiago Motta at Juventus. I demanded so much from this coach," said Riolo.

A dream job that was lost

The journalist even went so far as to say that Motta's destiny was to become a coach at PSG. He linked the emotions of football to history and emphasized that Motta had a connection to the club that was more than just professional. “His connection to the history of PSG and his identification with the club make him the ideal coach,” continued Riolo. He described it as a missed opportunity for Paris to make the former professional coach, while saying that missing out on such a coach was not the right way.

Riolo also sharply criticized PSG's management, describing the club's president as "disastrous". “C’est comme ça,” he lamented. "You look at his attitude and you see that he is for PSG. He should have been your coach and you didn't get him." These comments reflect not only Riolo's personal agenda, but also widespread administrative resignation over PSG's management and coaching decisions.

In recent years, Motta has repeatedly been discussed as a possible PSG coach, especially due to his close ties to the club. His exploits at Juventus could earn him even greater recognition and a following among fans disappointed that he did not return to his former team. Riolo's statements make it clear how much the fans and some analysts are in favor of Motta's return to coaching at PSG and emphasize the sadness over the missed opportunities.

Meanwhile, many football fans and experts are enthusiastic about Motta's performance in his new role. Every victory with Juventus strengthens his position and makes one wonder what would have been if PSG had seized the opportunity to select him as coach. His influence in Italian football could further boost his coaching career and potentially play a role for PSG in the future should the club consider a coaching change again.

The story of Thiago Motta not only shows how quickly things can change in football, but also how players can become coaches and fill positions that not only give them the opportunity to live out their passion, but also present new challenges to the club they once represented. Including the impact of these decisions on clubs and their management actions, it remains to be seen whether PSG will consider Motta's return to the team in the future.
