Other names have also been mentioned, such as former Barça player Thiago Motta or Igor Tudor, whom the Torino president would have called personally, but They wouldn’t be very interested in the work, and are waiting for more ambitious projects. The Italian has even opted for Roma as a substitute for José Mourinho. Motta has a very similar situation to that of Gattuso and Juric, since fulfills contract with Bologna on the same datebut with the difference that he would be negotiating to extend his stay at the club.
Juric’s Torino will face Bologna at home this coming Monday, while Gattuso’s Marseille will visit the home of Racing Strasbourg.
