Italian club Juventus have appointed former Bologna coach Thiago Motta as their new manager.
The 41-year-old, who played for Italy and Juventus rivals Inter Milan as a midfielder, has signed a three-year deal until June 2027.
He replaces Massimiliano Allegri, who was sacked two days after he led the side to the Italian Cup.
Motta led Bologna to qualify for the Champions League last season, finishing fifth in the table.
He also played for Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Genoa and Paris St-Germain, where he ended his career before moving into coaching with the club’s youth side.
He then moved into the backroom staff at Genoa before becoming head coach at Spezia, then taking charge of Bologna.
