Juventus, once a dominant force in Italian and European football, find themselves in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable position as they begin life after Thiago Motta. The Turin giants, reeling from a series of humiliations that ultimately cost their coach his job, now attempt to salvage their season with Igor Tudor at the helm. Their latest challenge comes in the form of Genoa, a club with a rich history but one that has traditionally struggled in this fixture. Saturday evening's clash at the Allianz Stadium marks the beginning of a crucial phase for Juventus, who still hope to secure Champions League qualification despite their recent downturn.

The decision to part ways with Motta was not made lightly. Juventus had invested heavily in his vision, hoping that his tactical ingenuity, which had previously earned him plaudits at Bologna, would translate to success at a club with grander ambitions. However, the board’s patience ran out after back-to-back domestic embarrassments. First, a 4-0 home thrashing at the hands of Atalanta left the Allianz Stadium in stunned silence. Any hope of an immediate response was quickly dashed when Fiorentina inflicted further misery, dispatching Juve 3-0 in Florence just before the international break. These results were damaging not just in terms of morale but also to Juventus' standing in the league table, with their top-four aspirations increasingly under threat.

While disappointing league performances accelerated Motta’s departure, they were not the sole reason for his dismissal. Juventus’ failures in cup competitions played a decisive role in the board’s decision. Their Champions League campaign had already ended in ignominy, with a shock elimination at the hands of PSV Eindhoven. Further embarrassment followed in the Coppa Italia, where a seemingly manageable tie against Empoli ended in disaster. The loss to the Tuscan side removed any realistic hope of silverware, ensuring that Juventus would go another season without a major trophy—a situation deemed unacceptable by a club of their stature.

Motta’s tenure was paradoxical in many ways. His Juventus side was incredibly difficult to beat, as evidenced by their record of losing just three Serie A matches out of 29. However, an inability to convert draws into wins proved fatal to any aspirations of mounting a genuine title challenge. The team’s tally of 13 draws was the highest among the league’s top sides, reflecting a frustrating inability to break down opponents and kill games off. While Juve remained defensively solid for much of the campaign, their attacking play often lacked urgency and invention, leading to stalemates that ultimately cost them vital points.

In response to the crisis, Juventus turned to a familiar face, appointing Igor Tudor as interim head coach. The Croatian, a former Juventus defender who won two Serie A titles with the club, returns to Turin with the task of steadying the ship. Tudor’s managerial career has seen him take charge of Hellas Verona and Lazio, with mixed results, but he is regarded as a tactician capable of instilling discipline and resilience. His familiarity with Juventus, having also served as an assistant coach during Andrea Pirlo’s ill-fated tenure, made him a logical choice to guide the team through this turbulent period.

Tudor has signed a contract until the end of the season, with an option to extend for another year should he succeed in stabilizing the club. His immediate priority will be restoring confidence within the squad, which has looked bereft of self-belief in recent weeks. Juventus’ current league position—fifth—is their worst at this stage of a campaign since 2011. The challenge is immense, but the expectations remain unchanged: Juventus cannot afford to miss out on Champions League football.

Their upcoming fixture against Genoa presents an opportunity to begin this new chapter on a positive note. Historically, this is a matchup that favors the Bianconeri, who have not lost a home league game to Genoa in 34 years. In that time, Juventus have registered 15 wins and five draws against their Ligurian visitors, a record that suggests they should be confident of securing three points. However, given the current state of the team, nothing can be taken for granted.

Genoa, for their part, enter the contest with a sense of stability that has eluded Juventus in recent months. Their season began on shaky ground, with a string of poor results raising concerns about their ability to remain in the top flight. However, the appointment of Patrick Vieira, a former Juventus midfielder, as head coach proved to be a turning point. Under Vieira’s guidance, Genoa have gradually climbed away from the relegation zone and now find themselves securely in mid-table, with little fear of being dragged into a survival battle.

Their progress was underlined just before the international break when they secured a 2-1 victory over Lecce, a match in which Juventus-owned Fabio Miretti played a starring role, scoring both goals. This result lifted the Grifone to 12th in the Serie A standings, ensuring that their primary objective—top-flight survival—was all but secured. While European qualification remains beyond their reach, Genoa are not merely content with avoiding relegation; they now aim to secure a top-half finish, a feat that would mark a successful season for Vieira’s men.

Despite their improvement, Genoa’s struggles away from home remain a significant concern. They have yet to win on the road in 2025, with their last away victory dating back to December 28 against Empoli. If they are to make a serious push for a top-10 finish, addressing their travel woes will be crucial. However, the daunting prospect of facing a wounded Juventus side at the Allianz Stadium does not present the ideal opportunity to reverse this trend.

Juventus’ squad, despite its underperformance this season, remains laden with talent. Key players such as Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa, and Manuel Locatelli will be expected to step up and deliver under Tudor’s guidance. The Croatian coach is likely to implement a more pragmatic approach, focusing on defensive solidity and direct attacking play, rather than the more possession-based system preferred by Motta. The immediate goal will be to restore order, ensure Juventus are harder to break down, and gradually rebuild confidence as the season enters its final stretch.

Genoa, on the other hand, will rely on their organized defensive structure and the leadership of players like captain Milan Badelj and goalkeeper Josep Martinez. Their primary attacking threats will come from the likes of Albert Gudmundsson and Mateo Retegui, both of whom have shown flashes of quality throughout the campaign. If they are to trouble Juventus, they will need to capitalize on any uncertainty or nerves within the Bianconeri ranks, particularly in the opening stages of the match.

Ultimately, this fixture is about more than just three points for Juventus. It represents the beginning of a new era—albeit an interim one—and an opportunity to begin repairing the damage inflicted in recent weeks. The club’s supporters, who have endured a frustrating season, will be expecting an immediate reaction. Anything less than a convincing performance will only add to the growing discontent in Turin.

For Genoa, this match offers a chance to test themselves against one of Italy’s biggest clubs, even if they are currently in disarray. A positive result would reinforce the progress made under Vieira and provide further encouragement as they continue their journey towards establishing themselves as a stable mid-table side.

As Juventus and Genoa take to the field, the spotlight will be firmly on the home side. Igor Tudor’s tenure begins under immense pressure, but with the backing of the fans and a squad still possessing considerable quality, he has the tools to steady the ship. The coming weeks will determine whether this is merely a temporary resurgence or the beginning of a longer-term revival for the fallen giants of Italian football.
