Bonucci told Sky Italia: "Thiago Motta will bring a football full of intensity and technique, as shown at Bologna over the last two years.
"I hope he can bring Juventus back to where they deserve to be."
On retirement, Bonucci added: "I'm happy for what it was, the right time has come to say enough and I'm at peace with myself.
"However, football will still give me a lot in the future, but now I'm enjoying my holidays with my family and I want to recover after years spent on the fields and around Europe."
