Thiago Motta made history with Bologna by guiding the club to its first-ever appearance in the group stage of the Champions League. However, the coach could not share in the celebration as he departed for Juventus. His exit has clearly left a mark on Bologna’s fans.
Details: According to Calciomercato, during Bologna’s Coppa Italia match against Monza, the home ultras chanted offensive slogans directed at Motta. Their outbursts were met with disapproval from other fans in the stadium, whose whistles attempted to drown out the insults. This incident comes just days before Bologna and Juventus are set to face off on December 7 in Turin.
Reminder: Motta had a tense relationship with Bologna’s ultras during his time as head coach. The fan base previously stormed the club’s training ground and later criticized him for some of his tactical decisions.
