Bologna sporting director Marco Di Vaio has reiterated his desire to keep Thiago Motta as coach, but will respect the manager’s decision.
“We will do everything we can to keep Coach Motta, as everyone knows,” Di Vaio said via Ilbianconero. “Our intentions are clear, we are waiting to sit down at the table with him.”
“There are important issues to discuss to continue with Bologna, but we will respect his will. The first thing I want to say, regardless of everything, is to thank Motta for what he has done for Bologna, for his seriousness, for his work group: he has also improved, he has changed his way of playing.”
Motta has been linked with a move to Juventus, but Di Vaio is confident that he can convince the manager to stay.
