Maurizio Sarri explains why he does not have good memories of Juventus

Maurizio Sarri, who was Juventus' coach during the 2019/2020 season after the club dismissed Max Allegri, has shared his thoughts on his time at the Bianconeri. Sarri took over the reins after a surprise move from the Bianconeri, who were looking for their first European success in nearly two decades. He had just secured the Europa League title with Chelsea when he joined Juventus with the aim of ending their European drought.

However, Sarri's tenure at Juventus was marked by little progress in European competitions and a near-miss in the league title race. The 2019/2020 season was particularly challenging for Sarri, as Juventus played in front of empty stadiums from March onwards due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This unusual circumstance may explain why the coach does not have fond memories of his time at Juventus.

In an interview with Tuttomercatoweb, Sarri acknowledged the peculiar season and stated that he has no regrets. As Atalanta's coach, Sarri will return to Turin to face his former club and hopes to lead his new team to a positive result, preventing Juventus from celebrating their Scudetto victory.
