Under pressure Juventus manager Thiago Motta said the club's owners were still behind him despite last weekend's home thrashing by Atalanta in the league and earlier exits from the Champions League and Coppa Italia.

Juventus head coach Thiago Motta has received backing from the club's majority owner John Elkann in the shape of a text message.

Motta asserts that Juventus are committed to his project ahead of Sunday’s clash with Fiorentina. After their disastrous defeat against Atalanta where they were battered 4-0 at home, Juventus now turn their attention to Fiorentina, their last game before domestic football pauses for the first international break of 2025.
