Juventus fired coach Maurizio Sarri on Saturday after his first season responsible ended with the team’s Champions League exit.
Despite winning the Italian title, Sarri paid the worth for the round-of-16 loss to Lyon on Friday.
The club would really like to thank the coach for having written a replacement page in Juventus’ history with the victory of the ninth consecutive championship, the culmination of a private journey that led him to climb all the divisions of Italian football,” the team said.
Sarri also left Chelsea last year after just one season responsible — despite winning the Europa League with the London club.
While he led Juventus to a record-extending ninth straight Serie A title, the Bianconeri never really adapted to his quick-passing style and lost four of 12 matches during the restart.
What’s more is that amid such a lot dominance domestically, truth test for any Juventus coach comes within the Champions League — a contest the Turin club has not won since 1996.
Juventus was eliminated on away goals despite securing a 2-1 victory within the rearranged second-leg home match against Lyon.
According to media reports, potential replacements include former Juventus player and current Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, Lazio’s Simone Inzaghi, former Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino and Massimiliano Allegri who has been out of labor since leaving Juventus a year ago after leading the team to 5 straight Italian titles.
