Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri is full of praise for new Genoa boss Thiago Motta.

Juve meet Genoa tonight, which will mark Motta's second game in charge.

Sarri stated: "Thiago Motta's experience in Serie A (as a manager) started a few days ago. There was only one match and a nice win. After the equaliser, they played very well.

"It is surprising to see how good Genoa is, despite its ranking.

"I saw beautiful ball possession to get out of dangerous situations. He's had an impact in a few days.

"Thiago Motta has found fertile ground to grow. We analysed their last match and even those of PSG U19 to check some details that I did not notice in the last match."

Motta was in charge of PSG's U19 team last season.
