The ‘Juve’ continues, therefore, to remain unbeaten in this Serie A, but they are far from the top due to their addiction to draws, having now accumulated twelve in twenty matches.
This Saturday witnessed the famous Turin derby of Serie A, a match where Torino hosted Juventus for matchday 20 of the Italian league.
However, during the match in which both teams drew, a moment occurred that stunned everyone and drew criticism towards the protagonists of this incident: the coaches Paolo Vanoli and Thiago Motta.
In the 55th minute of the match, coaches Paolo Vanoli and Thiago Motta were sent off following a fracas involving players from both benches.
Amid the fracas, both managers were visibly agitated, leading to their dismissal by match referee Michael Fabbri.
Some users commented that the expulsions of both coaches were disgraceful and a sign of a lack of commitment to the players they manage.

The Juventus coach, Thiago Motta, explained in the post-match press conference: “My dismissal with Vanoli? I spoke with the referee: with Bologna in the conference I said I deserved the red; because I should not have protested, today I respect the decision, but it was not justified. It’s something on the field with Vanoli. We’ve only lost 2 out of 27 games.”
In Turin, in the derby between the two main teams of the city, Juventus (5th) could only manage a 1-1 draw against Torino (10th).
The Turkish Kenan Yildiz gave the ‘bianconeri’ the lead in the 8th minute, and the hosts equalized in injury time of the first half, in the 45+1 minute, thanks to Croatian Nikola Vlasic. The score remained unchanged in the second half.
Thus, the ‘Juve’ remains unbeaten in this Serie A, but is far from the summit due to their tendency to draw, now totaling twelve in twenty matches.
