Thiago Motta: The coaching innovator
Bologna's visionary manager
Thiago Motta is one of the brightest prospects in football management.
The former Barcelona midfielder has taken charge of Bologna in Serie A and has quickly turned the club into one of the most exciting to watch in Europe. Motta's innovative tactics and man-management skills have been praised by pundits and players alike, and he is widely seen as one of the most promising young managers in the game.
But Motta's journey to the top has not been without its challenges. After retiring from playing in 2018, he spent a year as a youth coach at Paris Saint-Germain before being appointed as Bologna's manager in 2019. In his first season in charge, Motta led Bologna to a respectable 12th-place finish in Serie A. However, it was in the 2020/21 season that Motta really made his mark.
Under Motta's guidance, Bologna finished 11th in Serie A, their highest league position in over a decade. The Rossoblu also reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, where they were eventually defeated by Juventus. Motta's success at Bologna has not gone unnoticed, and he has been linked with a number of high-profile managerial positions in recent months.
It remains to be seen whether Motta will leave Bologna in the near future, but there is no doubt that he is one of the most exciting young managers in European football. His innovative tactics and man-management skills have the potential to make him one of the best managers in the world.
