Juventus has taken the first step in the search for a possible change in their coaching staff by officially contacting Xavi Hernández, who emerges as the leading candidate to replace Thiago Motta if the team's results do not improve. Although the Italian club has not made a final decision yet, this approach shows their interest in exploring alternatives due to the inconsistent season they are going through.

Xavi, who has been without a team since leaving FC Barcelona in the summer of 2024, left a remarkable legacy as the Barça coach by winning La Liga and a Spanish Super Cup. During his time at the Catalan club, the Spanish coach accumulated 91 wins, 23 draws, and 29 losses, figures that have caught Juventus' attention as they seek a catalyst to turn around their campaign.

Juventus Is Not Going Through Its Best Moment

Currently, the "Vecchia Signora" sits in fifth place in Serie A, with 37 points, trailing league leaders Napoli by 16 points after 22 matchdays. Despite their challenging domestic situation, they managed to advance to the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. However, their position in the European coefficient table is concerning, as they are in 17th place.

Motta's future on the Juventus bench will depend on the upcoming results, but the possibility of bringing in Xavi adds pressure to the Italian's management. On the other hand, the Spanish coach represents a bet that combines youth, tactical vision, and experience at the highest level, traits that could fit into a club project looking to return to the top both in Italy and Europe.
