Maurizio Sarri can leave Chelsea to take over at Juventus – Doesn’t sound bad
Celebrations were cut short for the Europa League champion Maurizio Sarri. Yet, what awaits the Chelsea manager, could be considered a far better prospect.
When one door closes, another one opens and it appears this is the situation for the current Chelsea boss.
Sky Sports reported the club from Stamford Bridge is ready to part ways, and will not stand in the way of a move to Juventus if they are to conclude business in the early days of the transfer window.
Besides a fantastic farewell for forward, Eden Hazard, what has been going at the Bridge has been ugly, to say the least. A bust-up between David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain.

Talks of Emma Hayes and Frank Lampard wanting to come and take the job from Sarri long-term. The consequential transfer ban. It’s all in turmoil!
Though it is the way they do business and they’ve been doing it that way for years. Almost nothing ever transpires smoothly at Stamford Bridge.
Considering the Blues transfer ban, you’d think they’d ride it out with Sarri. But the idea of a long-term successor and a project that involves a club legend, rather than a man from out-of-town has more appeal for the English outfit.
The disrespect towards Maurizio Sarri is real!
The Italian chain-smoker ticked all the boxes this season. A third-place finish and two cup finals, Maurizio bettered Jurgen Klopp’s maiden campaign back in 2015 for Liverpool.
The two men were faced with similar tasks. The only difference, Klopp inherited his squad during October while Sarri obtained his during the summer.
Nevertheless, he did what was asked and did it in style. The mere fact the Old Lady wants the old man speaks volumes of the respect they have to want him to succeed Massimiliano Allegri.
What’s waiting for him in Italy is a far sweeter deal and a place he can call home. He can make transfers, still gets Champions League football, and works with the reigning champions of the Serie A
Plans for Sarri to Italy will move swiftly
His contract with the club will be terminated and Sarri’s Stamford Bridge journey will come to an end.
Sky believes the Serie A side have already been putting in the work to bring in players to ready the team for the arrival of the manager.

All signs point in the direction of a Chelsea exit. Now it’s a matter of who will come into London to replace him?
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia had this to say
"Sarri informed her he wants to leave Chelsea this summer and she promised to talk to the club’s owner Roman Abramovich about his future.Sources have told Sky in Italy that there do not appear to be any major obstacles in the way of Sarri succeeding Massimiliano Allegri as Juve boss and it is expected to happen quickly.
