Thiago Motta Lands Juventus Coaching Job

Italian giants Juventus has named THIAGO MOTTA as their new coach, replacing MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI who was sacked last month.

 

The 41 years old MOTTA was previously in charge at Serie A rivals Bologna.

 

Last season, he led the team to fifth place in Serie A and qualified them for the Champions League for the first time.

 

The former Italian international was part of the squad which finished runner-up at the 2012 European championships. He was also a five-time French champion with PSG and played in Champions League winning teams at Barcelona and Inter Milan.

 

Juve will be his fourth club as coach after Genoa in 2019, where he only stayed three months before being fired with a record of just one victory in ten matches, and La Spezia in 2021-22 and Bologna.

Wingless Eagles of Nigeria Devoured by Cheetahs of Benin in 2026 World Cup Qualifier

Nigeria’s chances of playing at the 2026 World Cup hangs by a slim thread, following a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic.

The Super Eagles, looking to bounce back from their 1-1 draw against South Africa last Friday in Uyo, started on a good note, thanks to RAPHAEL ONYEDIKA’s excellent finish in the first half.

However, FINIDI GEORGE’s men went into the break behind, as the Beninese scored twice before the interval thanks to JODEL DOSSOU and STEVE MOUNIE.

The result leaves Coach Gernot Rorh’s Benin Republic at the top of Group C with seven points, while Nigeria remains rooted to the fifth position  with just three points of possible twelve after four games.

In the same group, South Africa will host Zimbabwe while Lesotho will lock horns against Rwanda at 5:00pm Nigeria time today June 11, 2024.

Super Eagles in Abidjan to Defeat Benin Republic – Finidi George

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will square off against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in an all-important 2026 World Cup qualifier today by 5PM at the Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

 

Nigeria, currently fifth in Group C, is eager to secure their first win of the qualifying campaign. The Super Eagles have drawn their initial three matches against Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw against South Africa at the Godwin Akpabio Stadium.

 

Coach FINIDI GEORGE, who revealed his disappointment with the draw against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa, is confident that the Super Eagles will bounce back and get their qualification hopes shining bright.

 

A win for Nigeria against Benin Republic who are second in Group C with four points would significantly boost Nigeria’s standing and revive their World Cup hopes.
