Paul Pogba Takes Aim at ex-PSG and Juve Coach Thiago Motta

On October 5, following the reduction of Paul Pogba’s doping suspension to 18 months, Juventus coach Thiago Motta commented on the French midfielder, referring to his situation in the past tense. This statement deeply affected Pogba, who has not hidden his disappointment.

While Paul Pogba is set to return, it appears that it will not be with Juventus. The 31-year-old international can resume training in December 2024 and could play again by March 2025. However, Juventus is considering terminating his contract, which runs until June 2026, due to the current circumstances.

« It definitely hurts. It feels like I’m done, that I’m no longer a footballer and that I’ve ended my career. I don’t believe he meant it that way. He’s the coach of Juventus today. I haven’t had the chance to meet him yet or have a one-on-one discussion with him, » Pogba said in an interview with L’Equipe.

Despite the uncertainty, Paul Pogba has not given up. While Juventus may want to part ways with him, the player seems determined to convince Thiago Motta and the club management to give him another chance.
