Serie A giants Juventus sacked Thiago Motta last week and now, he has emerged as a candidate to replace Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta.
Igor Tudor has already taken over at Juve and Motta now finds himself without a job, only eight months after leaving Bologna to join the Bianconeri.
**TuttoAtalanta** have [reported](https://www.tuttoatalanta.com/primo-piano/dea-spunta-l-ipotesi-thiago-motta-anche-l-ex-juve-tra-i-nomi-per-l-eventuale-post-gasperini-115719) today that Tudor was an option for Atalanta, if Gasperini leaves in the summer. Maurizio Sarri is also seen as a potential target. Vincenzo Italiano, who is currently doing well at Bologna, could have been a target if he wasn’t contracted to the Rossoblu.
Amidst this difficulty, the idea of Motta ending up at Atalanta has now gained traction. His free agency is certainly a bonus and he is seen as a candidate who can replicate Gasperini in Bergamo.
While the situation is still very much open as Gasperini is still at Atalanta, Francesco Farioli can emerge as a surprise candidate, as time goes on.
