Thiago Motta showed no bitterness on Monday after being sacked as Juventus coach on Sunday and replaced by Igor Tudor.
    "I experienced intense moments (at Juve)," Motta said in a statement to ANSA.
    "I always faced them with the utmost determination and the will to improve every day.
    "I thank the ownership for having given me the chance to be part of this great club, the management and all the people at the club who have supported me in my work on a daily basis, the players for the work and commitment they have put in since our first day together.
    "I wish the fans and Juventus all the best for the future".
    Motta, 42, was axed after Juve's Champions League and Italian Cup bids recently ended and they slipped out of the Champions League qualification zone to fifth place following a 4-0 thumping by title contenders Atalanta, the Bianconeri's heaviest home defeat since 1967, and a 3-0 loss at eight-placed Fiorentina.
