Sarri bottled a 2:0 lead, but he's lucky that the closest teams have been losing as well.

Just got fired by Juve

Joginho stays

Lost Copa Italia and Supercup, couldn't pass Lyon in the knockouts. His tactics don't work. Rumors are that Pochettino is the new Juventus manager.

He is an hipsters manager. Will be interesting to see where next for him, that is probably the biggest job he will ever get. He is a Serie A & an Europa champion so not that bad.

He did win the league. 

Like at Chelsea, would have loved to have seen what Sarri could have done in his second and third season. He improved Napoli every year. Even after they lost their best player to Juventus. 

But managers don't get time anymore, even if they win trophies! Sarri is a "project" manager and unfortunately Chelsea and Juventus are not right for that. 

No idea where he goes next. I'd like to see him at a club like Betis, Sevilla or Valencia where the expectations are lower but he could really create something.

Never thought he was a good fit for Juventus, and they played ordinary football this season.

Who takes over?

• Pochettino
• Inzaghi
• Pirlo
• Conte, if he leaves Inter and falls out with the owners.

I for one wasnt excited by his management at all.. i was not happy that he jumped ship when he did either.. but this one is a little harsh.. and complacency by Juve. I think they will pay for this decision. they already have a pensioner's squad which they will struggle to move on. Add on a new manager will require more funds.. 

i actually think this is a fool hardy approach by Juve.. and this will bite them back.. Inter will take the league.. UCL is always a lottery.

I always felt like I could see something in sarri that others weren't prepared to see. That his "lack of a plan b" was deliberate. It was all about embedding plan a in the squad. I also believe it worked because our team are infinitely more comfortable on the ball this season than if Sarri hadn't been around last year. 

He jumped ship because he could imo. We didn't want to keep him and he knew that. When your fans are singing for you to f**k off then why stay? I doubt juve sign him if we backed him. 

In my edited post, he needs to go to a challenging Spanish club and be given time. Like at Napoli he has the ability to create something special.

IMO being the Serie A winner with Juventus isn't an accomplishment, he walked in a team that already had the league title as a given. For him personally it's great but Juventus wanted to play fast and to finally win the CL again so no wonder they had been unhappy with Sarri, he doesn't use key players right he treats everyone as a default player for his tactic, he did the same with our squad it didn't matter what individual quality someone had but only what role in his tactic they should play.

i agree with most of your post apart from the highlighted..  It is also some people in the media keep saying too that Chelsea finishing 4th is no big achievement since its the same squad with Sarri had and finished 3rd with only Eden the difference.. but the fact is players who have played the most this season were not coached by Sarri-

Mount, Tomori, Pulisic, Abraham, Reece - all first team players who have featured heavily weren't part of the setup under Sarri. you can also make a case for Ross, CHO, Giroud who played only cup games. So i think giving much credit to Sarri on this is very benevolent.

He was making a new project with our squad and we're still in this project of making a new team so IMO we were a good fit for developing a new tactic and young players. It was after all his decision to take the offer of Juventus.

He is obviously not suited for a big team, he doesn't focus on his star players and their strenghts, he is very rigid with his tactics.

Feel a bit bad for him to be honest, seemed like a genuinely good person.  Leaving Napoli was probably the worst decision of his life!

Well at least he managed stronger teams and won 2 major trophies as a result, having never won anything previously. Maybe Napoli were building into a trophy winning team but the bubble was going to burst anyway and big clubs would come in and snatch their players. If we didn't buy Jorginho then City would have.

Best of luck to him. Seems a genuinely nice bloke. Hopefully he finds a good new challange.

Is clear Juve want the CL. After so many years of league titles it appears to be their focus. They are becoming more like PSG.

Did he ever step on the pitch at Juventus?

Shame for him really, he finally wins a league and just like that he's off. The writing was on the wall though as the fans and media really disliked his management at Juve. 

On the bright side its another pay off and he will have a good amount now to do what he likes. 

A top job isn't for him, an underdog seems his bread and butter. 

Just thought I'd pop back and reminisce about that time I was called "mental" and "a whopper" of a "WUM" among other insults by multiple posters for saying this guy won't be teaching Eden Hazard how to be a decent attacker.

For some reason that popped into my head today.

The same hazard who had his best goal return for chelsea under Sarri? 

 

Sarri isn't able to play the game at a big club. He's not savvy enough. 

That's why everything good that happens whilst he manager is not his fault and everything bad is completely his. 

It's why when he takes Chelsea up to 3rd and wins the Europa league he is still labelled as some form of joke manager by idiots like you

Conte could easily replace Sarri at Juve. A couple of days ago he openly criticised Inter's board, and even said that they should look up to Juve.

Interesting to see what happens next, especially where could Sarri end up.

It was the best career-wise. He got 2 trophies in 2 seasons. That's a good return I'd say.

Pirlo takes over ! Kinda of funny that both Lampard and Pirlo replaces him, he must have left the spirit in the locker room pretty low both times to bring club legends back as manager.

I think it's the fan base not the players.

True as well, kind of sucks for him because he was brought in both times to install a new way of playing and didnt make it past the first year despite finally winning silverewre ! In both occasion Chelsea's and Juve's squad didnt fit his system and didnt have much transfer windows to really makes it his.
