Thiago Motta (born August 28, 1982 in São Bernardo do Campo , Brazil ) is a former Brazilian - Italian football player and today's coach .

Career

In the club

Thiago Motta comes from a suburb of São Paulo and began his football career in the youth teams of the Brazilian club CA Juventus São Paulo , where he was used as a defensive midfielder . In the summer of 1999, Motta, then 17 years old, was signed by FC Barcelona . He first played for two years in the B-team of Barça before he completed his first game against RCD Mallorca for the A-team on October 3, 2001 . However, due to numerous injuries - his knee problems began in 2004 - and the strong competition in midfield with Deco , Xavi , Andrés Iniesta and Edmílson , he was never really able to assert himself in the FC Barcelona team.

In the 2007/08 season he moved to Atlético Madrid , but only came to six league games. Due to a knee injury, his contract was not renewed in the summer of 2008. He then moved to CFC Genoa in Italy on a free transfer . At CFC Genoa he played 27 games in Serie A , in which he scored six goals.

In the summer break of 2009, Inter signed Motta. He signed a four-year contract until June 30, 2014 . In return, Francesco Bolzoni , Leonardo Bonucci and Riccardo Meggiorini moved to CFC Genoa. He made his Serie A debut for Inter on August 23, 2009 in a 1-1 draw at home against AS Bari . In his second competitive game, Motta contributed a goal to the 4-0 win against AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina . On April 28, 2010 he met Sergio Busquets with his hand in the face in the Champions League game against FC Barcelona and was sent off with the red card . He was suspended for two games and was therefore missing on May 22nd in the final against Bayern Munich .

During the 2011/12 winter break, Motta moved to Paris Saint-Germain . There he soon developed into an undisputed regular player and one of the pillars of the team. With Paris he won a total of five championship titles in six years and the French Cup four times. In the Champions League he reached at least the knockout phase with Paris every year, but always failed in the quarterfinals at the latest, albeit sometimes just because of the away goals rule like in 2013 after two draws against FC Barcelona or in 2014 after a 3-1 home win and one 0: 2 away defeat against Chelsea .

In the summer of 2018 he ended his active career and became the coach of the Paris Saint-Germain U19 team. From October to December 2019 Motta trained the Italian first division club CFC Genoa .

In the national team

Motta made his debut for the Brazilian national team on July 13, 2003 during the CONCACAF Gold Cup .

On February 6, 2011 he was appointed by Cesare Prandelli for the game on February 9, 2011 against the German national team in the Italian national team. One day later, FIFA approved Motta's association change so that he could be used. This was justified by the fact that Motta had de facto only played in one of the Brazilian U23 teams and because his Italian grandfather, who emigrated to South America, had a family background for a change in the national team. On February 9, 2011 Motta made her debut in the international match in Dortmund against the German selection for the Italian national team. In a European Championship qualifier against the Slovenian selection on March 25, 2011, he scored his first and only international goal for Italy.

National coach Prandelli called him into the Italian squad of 23 for the 2012 European Football Championship . In this tournament Italy reached the final against Spain, Motta came on in the 51st minute when the score was 2-0 for Spain. Only four minutes later, however, he was forced to leave the field again, even though Italy had already exhausted their transfer contingent. Motta pulled a muscle in her thighs and glutes. The Squadra Azzurra had to continue the final outnumbered and lost 4-0.

At the European Football Championship in France in 2016 , he was included in the Italian squad . In the first two games against Belgium and Sweden he was used as a substitute. Since the group victory was already certain before the Ireland game, he was allowed to play from the start. In the round of 16 against Spain he got his second yellow card of the tournament after being substituted on and therefore missed the next round. In the quarter-finals, the team was eliminated against Germany. No further nominations have followed since the EM.
