Thiago Motta had a better record than his successors, Igor Tudor and Luciano Spalletti, at Juventus after 26 Serie A rounds in 2024-25 as the Bianconeri have now hit their lowest point in 15 years.<\/p>\n

Juventus\u2019 2-0 loss\u00a0<\/a>to Como<\/a> on Saturday left the Bianconeri fifth in the standings, with 46 points, four points behind a Champions League spot.<\/p>\n

As reported by Gazzetta<\/a>, it\u2019s Juventus\u2019 worst record since 2010-11 when they had collected just 41 points in the opening 26 league games under Luigi Delneri.<\/p>\n

Thiago Motta was sacked in March last year, but his Juventus side had earned 49 points after 26 Serie A matches. Juventus had scored the same number of goals, 43, and had a more solid defence, conceding 21 goals compared to this season\u2019s 25.<\/p>\n

Motta was sacked after 29 games with Juventus in March last year. The Bianconeri had suffered heavy Serie A defeats against Atalanta and Fiorentina; they sat fifth in the Serie A table and had been eliminated from the Champions League knockout play-off.<\/p>\n
