Other than a few days of reflection. A few hours after the end of the match with Lyon, which sanctioned the precocious elimination of Juventus in the round of XNUMX of the Champions League, coach Maurizio Sarri has already been fired. The decision was already in the air on the eve of the match, and such a negative result, despite the recent victory of the ninth consecutive championship, could only confirm it. On the other hand, at least for now, the liquidation of Fabio Paratici, the sports director who had wanted Sarri, has been denied, but it is curious that the news (later denied) was reported by the website of La Stampa, the Turin newspaper owned by the Agnelli family.
Therefore, after just one season, the project of "revolution sarrista bianconera" aborts: the former coach of Naples and Chelsea had been called for the good game, of which, however, no trace has been seen. Juventus still managed to win in the championship (but with the lowest score of the last nine consecutive titles, even less than Conte's first Juve who had a much higher technical level), while the flop in the Champions League was fatal for the Tuscan coach, as well – let's remember – in the two finals lost on the two disputed, in the Super Cup and the Italian Cup.
In addition to the results, the lack of appreciation from the team was decisive for the farewell to the coach: with the players, and in particular with the star Cristiano Ronaldo, the feeling never really started. Not to mention the hostility of the fans, manifested since the day Maurizio Sarri was announced on the Juventus bench a year ago. The total names for the bench have already started: in pole position there would be Zinedine Zidane, Simone Inzaghi and Paulo Sousa (the great ex, Portuguese like CR7 and the very powerful Mendes), but also Roberto Mancini and Pochettino and even Luciano Spalletti.
