17 September 2019
The 60-year-old Sarri arrived this season as part of a major overhaul of the 35-time Italian champions who are looking for another style of football which will deliver a first European title in nearly a quarter of a century. Sarri’s first weeks have been blighted by his bout of pneumonia and his side still need to click into gear with their European opener against Atletico Madrid looming tomorrow.
The former Napoli coaches’ first trophy in a 30-year managerial career was with Chelsea in last season’s Europa League. Apart from Gianluigi Buffon’s return after a season at Paris Saint-Germain, most of Juventus’ signings are young. The Portuguese star has won five Champions League trophies, and single-handedly lifted Juventus into the quarter-finals with a hat-trick against Atletico Madrid.Juventus ended the season with less than the previous year after losing the Coppa Italia.
