Juventus to receive €15m capital increase to cover Thiago Motta sacking | OneFootball

Exor, the holding company that owns Juventus, will provide a capital increase of €15m, potentially rising up to €110m in order to cover the expenses incurred by sacking Thiago Motta and replacing him with Igor Tudor last week.

Thiago Motta was dismissed from his position as head coach of Juventus on Sunday, and was replaced by Tudor on the same day.

Given that Motta was still in his first year in charge of the Bianconeri, under contract until the summer of 2027, Juventus had to pay a significant amount in compensation after giving him the sack.

Motta was earning €5m per season on his deal, not including the salaries earned by his coaching staff.

All told, reports claim that it cost around €15m to sack Thiago Motta and his coaching staff less than a year into their deals.

The €15m sum is part of the reason why Juventus had considered keeping hold of Motta until after their upcoming match against Genoa in Serie A. The team’s quarterly accounts have only just been settled for the third quarter of the 2024-25 financial year, and an extra €15m expense had not been factored in a few months ago.

For this reason, Exor will provide a €15m capital increase, which could increase upwards of €100m depending on the requests of the board of directors.

“Juventus Football Club S.p.A announces that the board of directors, has reviewed the main forecast data as at March 31 and June 30, 2025, as well as the possible scenarios for the 2025-26 financial year, taking into account the sporting performance of the first team during the final phase of the third quarter of the 2024-25 financial year, the impacts deriving from the recent dismissal of the first-team head coach, as well as the sensitivity analyses that have been updated as a result of these events,” a statement read, reported via TMW.

The statement later continued: “The board of directors has assessed that it may be appropriate to strengthen the club’s capital and financial profile by means of a capital increase, for a minimum amount of €15m and up to a maximum amount equal to 10% of the current market capitalisation.”
