Danilo hits out at agent for criticising new Juventus coach

Former Juventus captain Danilo has hit out at his agent for criticising the decision to hire Igor Tudor in place of Thiago Motta. ‘I absolutely do not agree.’

The defender was effectively pushed out of the club during the January transfer window after falling down the pecking order under coach Motta.

At the time, his agent Bruno Misorelli had been bitterly critical of Motta, claiming that the club was already working on replacing him.

Now that the dismissal is official and Motta has been replaced by Tudor, Misorelli is still not happy and said as much on his X account.

“The first mistake was Motta, the next is Tudor. They have learned nothing.”

Danilo tired of Juventus controversy

However, this did not last long and was deleted, especially after Danilo himself took to Instagram Stories to make his own feelings very clear.

“I absolutely do not agree with the comments from my agent, and I would never dare to give advice to the directors on what to do.

“I am a supporter from afar and wish Juve all the best.”

The 33-year-old is continuing his career back home in Brazil, having made the transfer to Flamengo in January.

Danilo was a popular figure at Juventus, having played 213 competitive matches for the club, winning one Serie A title, two editions of the Coppa Italia and one Supercoppa Italiana.
