Motta, who has taken nine points from his first five games as Juventus head coach, returns to th🔴e Stadio Luigi Ferraris after playing and managing the Grifone.
The 42-year-old made 27 appearances for Genoa in all competitions, scoring six goals in the ♏2008-09 season before moving to Inter the following campaign.
Motta then retur🍒ned as their head coach in 2019, replacing Aurelio Andreazzoli, but managed just two wins from his 10 games in charge (D3 L5) before being sacked.&♌nbsp;
"I've experienced so many g𓆏ood moments. It was a privilege. I enjoyed it both a🌠s a player and as a coach. I'm always happy to return there," Motta said.
While Juventus come into the encounter unbeaten, and the only team yet to concede in Europe's major top five leagues, they have struggled at the top e✨nd of the pitch.
The Bianconeri have drawn each🌼 of their last three league matches against Roma, Empoli and Napoli with a score of 0-0.
Juventus could draw four goalless games in a row for the first time in their history in Serie A, but Motta was not worried about his team's goal-scoring form.&n꧂bsp;
"The offensive ꦿphไase is not just one player, but the whole team," Motta said.
"We took an important step in the game against Napoli. We took th🤡e ball away fro꧋m a great team.
"We have to put attackers and midfielders in a position to do well.💜 We have to create as a team.
"They always want to win. I always want to win too. But there are many💎 things behind a𒁏 win.
"In the end, our goal is to win with our game. I ♚have never perceived anxiety in my team. We always want the🐻 positive result."
