Maurizio Sarri: "I built strong personal relationships with the players at Chelsea"

Juvenutus coach Maurizio Sarri was a guest on Casa Juventus, and he commented on life during the coronavirus pandemic as well as recounting some of the stops in his career. Sarri discussed his time in the Premier League, and his eventual return to Serie A with the bianconeri: "The first trip I'd like to make is to Rome. That would mean that we've landed in the Coppa Italia final. Then, someplace in Europe, because that would mean that we advanced in the Champions League. I am working on distancing myself right now. I read a lot. I also watch my Juventus matches. From the past I like watching Sacchi's Milan matches. I have realized he was way ahead of his time with his concepts of football. Chelsea? The first six months I had a contrasting relationship with the bench. Maybe I wasn't fully understood. I remember however when I left I cried, and many of the players were sad. That was because in the last months we build a wonderful personal relationship with everyone. Juventus? I've been struck by the love and the hate that exists towards this team from the public. It's something you realize only when you enter the world of the bianconeri."
