Now Juventus can focus all their attention on Serie A, they have lost their only chance to win a trophy. Empoli exceeded everyone expectations, they were very fortunate to reach the semi finals. Next, Empoli will face Bologna, while AC Milan will face Inter. The ideal final that was hoped for, between Juventus and AC Milan or Inter Milan, failed to materialize. It is very likely that this season Coppa Italia final will be between Bologna and Inter Milan.

Winning Coppa Italia is not important for Juventus and it's not their most important target in this season. If they win Coppa Italia and fail to finish this season in top four, it's nightmare ending for them. So even they had to leave Coppa Italia in an unwanted way, I see it is good for them by focusing on Serie A from now.

In Serie A, they are at the fourth position with 2 points more than Lazio but this competition has some other clubs that are participating in as well. Juventus currently hold this position and have advantage than other clubs, but they must be careful for securing this position till the end.

Thiago Motta seems to be having quite a difficult time in his first season, fortunately Juventus has now managed to break into the top four of the Serie A standings. A Champions League ticket is now Thiago Motta main target, in my opinion that is a guarantee to keep his job as manager next season.

It's his biggest club ever managed as a head coach and he lacks experience for it, as well as there is much big pressure on him. Remember that in his first position with Bologna, that club did not perform too well but in a second position with them, Thiago Motta brought them to top four and Champions League. Give him some time and let's wait for his management in Juventus next season.
