Soccer: Juve sack Thiago Motta (2)

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 23 - Juventus on Sunday sacked Italo-Brazilian coach Thiago Motta.
    Motta is set to be replaced as Juventus coach by Igor Tudor, the Italian media said Sunday.

    Former Genoa and Inter player Motta, 42, has seen Juve's Champions League and Italian Cup bids end recently end as well as suffering a 4-0 thumping by title contenders Atalanta, the Bianconeri's heaviest home defeat since 1967, and a 3-0 loss at eight-placed Fiorentina.
    Juve have slipped to fifth in the title race and former Italy international midfielder and ex Bologna boss Motta has now paid the price.
    Croat ex Udinese, Verona, Marseille and Lazio manager Tudor, 46, who spent most of his playing career as a defender at Juve, could be announced as early as Sunday evening, the media said, and take over for Juve's next game at home to 12th placed Genoa next Saturday. (ANSA).
