Timothy Weah’s inaugural season with Juventus fell short of expectations, failing to leave a lasting impression. However, a glimmer of hope emerges with the appointment of new coach Thiago Motta.

The 24-year-old American winger made the switch from Lille to Juventus for approximately €12 million last year, aiming to showcase his talents at a prestigious club following a successful stint with Les Dogues.

Weah encountered difficulties in adapting during his first year at Juventus, featuring for only 1380 minutes across 35 games, with just one goal and two assists to his name. His struggle to integrate into Massimiliano Allegri’s defensive-oriented system presented significant challenges.

A potential revival for Weah is on the horizon as Tuttosport emphasizes the prospects of a turnaround in his second season under Thiago Motta at Juventus. Motta’s more attack-minded 4-3-3 formation could provide a better platform for the American winger.

The Italian-Brazilian coach favors wide players who maintain advanced positions on the field, actively contributing to the high press, traits that align well with Weah’s stamina and positional awareness.

With a desire to redeem himself after a challenging debut season, Weah eyes a fresh start at Juventus, and the arrival of Thiago Motta presents an opportune moment for him to reaffirm his abilities in Turin.
