For Sarri, the match against Fiorentina will be his first on the Juventus bench. Before the first whistle, Fabio Paratici spoke with Sky Sport on Sarri and rumors around a pending departure for Mandzukic.
"Sarri has been very calm in the past hours. It challenges any manager to not be with his team, on the bench and saying the things they want to say. It's been a difficult situation."
On Mandzukic: "Last year there were no firsts or lasts, and not this year either. There are market opportunities that present themselves. Mandzukic is a great champion and we thank him for all he's done with us. There is a possibility, toward Qatar. Together with the player, the manager and the club we've decided to not participate in this transfer."
"We are a club, there are people that work. We make decisions all together. Those regarding the market are handled moreso by Nedved and myself. Every year, we've always worked to improve ourselves. We think that we've done that."
