One of the biggest news during the national team break was the sacking of Thiago Motta. The manager did not work in the team for a season, but he will receive a good payment. The last straw for the Turin management was the defeat to Fiorentina. In the match of the last round "bianconeri" at the "Artemio Franchi" missed three times and did not score once. At the same time, it should be noted that the Florentines played on the background of fatigue after the European Cup. But we should not get the impression that only the game with the Lilies was the reason for Motta's dismissal. Torino were out of the running for the Scudetto, out of the Champions League and the Italian Cup. A round earlier, and the Old Lady still lost to Atalanta. The Bergamaschi managed to score four times against their rivals in the fight for the Champions League position and kept their gates intact. Motta will be replaced by Igor Tudor. The Croatian mentor became famous at Juventus as a player, and in Serie A managed to coach Verona and Lazio.

Genoa in the last five rounds lost only once. However, the Genoese opponents were far from the cohort of strong. In the last match, the "griffins" hosted Lecce. Although it cannot be said that Patrick Vieira's men were clearly dominant, they went into the break with a two-goal advantage. In the second half, the Wolves started to catch up, but managed to score only once. By the way, Matrin will not take part in this game because of a yellow card. And that's on top of all the team's personnel problems. Before that, Genoa played with the same score of 1:1 with Cagliari and Empoli. But against Inter Vieira's wards could not take points. "Gryphons" minimally and deservedly lost to the "snakes" away.

Despite the fact that the season of Juventus clearly can not be called successful, the team easily beat Genoa in the first round match. Thus, at the "Luigi Ferraris" in the gate "griffins" Turin sent three goals. Vlahovic scored a double and Conceição completed the defeat. Often, the necessary coaching perturbations have a positive impact on the microclimate in the team. Torino should not be an exception to this rule. Juventus' victory under such circumstances is a positive reaction to what happened.
