Marco Motta reflects on Roma and Juve spells
Interview 06 Feb 2021
He might have gone off the radar of Italian football, but Marco Motta is still playing the game.
After turning out for a clutch of Serie A clubs– most notably Roma and Juventus – the full-back left Italy to continue his career abroad. He experienced English football (Watford, Charlton), played in Spain (Almeria) and even plied his trade in Cyprus (Omonia Nicosia), but Motta’s current team is even further off the beaten track: Persija Jakarta of Indonesia.
And 34-year-old Motta, who made 42 appearances for the Giallorossi in the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, has a special fondness for his time in the capital: “I’ve not forgotten Rome – I never will.”
