What are the three reasons why Juventus haven't fired Thiago Motta yet?

Reports in Italy claim that a defeat to Genoa after the international break will cost Thiago Motta the sack, but the former Italian midfielder has not been sacked so far for a variety of reasons. 

Thiago Motta is under fire after suffering two consecutive defeats to Atalanta and Fiorentina, conceding seven goals and scoring none. 

The former midfielder refused to retire after the 3-0 defeat to Fiorentina on Saturday and Cristiano Giuntoli confirmed his faith in the coach. 

However, Italian expert Romeo Agresti has reported that Motta has limited time to save his job. 

Ilbianconero.com, Corriere dello Sport and Calciomercato.com add that a third consecutive defeat to Genoa next round could cost Motta the sack. 

However, many Juventus fans have wondered why Motta was not sacked after the defeat to Fiorentina. 

Agresti believes that firing Motta with nine games remaining would confirm the failure of the project, but the financial aspect also has an impact.

Previous reports have suggested that Juventus would have to pay up to €20 million to sack their coach this season. 

Gazzetta adds that the lack of world-class coaches is another issue to consider, with only Igor Tudor and Roberto Mancini seen as credible candidates to replace Motta. 

At the same time, the club believes it would be unfair to place the blame entirely on the coach, as the players must also take responsibility for the disappointing results this season.Telegraph/
