We don't need a motivator. We need someone with a clear game plan and solid physical prep. Winning will breed motivation.
and also a motivator and a master communicator. sarri came with a clear game plan and i have no reason to think that his physical team sucked, and look at how it ended.
btw i also think that the recruitment strategy has to be revamped from top to bottom. english, german and spanish clubs (plus most well managed clubs in lesser leagues, i even know hungarians lol) use serious network of scouts
and advanced data analysis to find young talents. we used to shop in serie a above anything else, and i bet that without the tax advance for non italian residents we'd still do the same. this has to change and metrics should take over merits and experience. (latter applies for team selection too btw, for example see rovella, his loan looks like a fucked up decision already and we're not even at matchday 10.)

Motivation is a bit overrated. You are talking about professional players, if they aren't motivated, they don't necessarily get to this level.
motivation can do wonders if it's done right. we tend to overpay players, so they have nothing to fight for anymore. we also tend to pick over the top players, and those won't give a shit about maximum effort anymore. money isn't some magic shit if you throw it at mental midgets or burnt out old fucks.
