This man owes everything, good and bad, to his stubbornness. He was stubborn enough to spend two billion years managing Serie Z level clubs, and finally reached the top level. Most people in his shoes would quit such a career way before he got to the top division. But the very same stubbornness...

Also, if any club received 15 Champions Cups for being eliminated by Lyon in the round of 16 this year, Juventus would be the most successful club in the history of the tournament now. But unfortunately it was just a regular round of 16. Damn fortune let him down again, what an unbelievably...

Juventus is a complex system that requires managers capable of managing it. Allergi and Marotta, regardless mistakes they made, were of the required kind. Sarri and Paratici aren't. The problem is that the lack of competent managers is a general problem of the modern world of football (well, not...

Disgrazie, mister.

I've got a question. Not that long ago Sarri complained that players didn't understand his system. Then the lockdown happened, and he switched to putting all the blame on the tight schedule, messed up season, etc. Does it mean that players finally understood his system, but now are...

I believe the main problem is not that Sarri didn't have the players for his system, but the very fact that he's got a system rigidly requiring very specific types of players (or even more, not the types of players, but specific players, like Jorgihno). And the worst part is that this system has...

Here's what the club should do in the current situation: 1. Fire Sarri today. The players will be relieved, happy and motivated. The Elite Premium Anti-Sarri Tuz Club will be happy as well. 2. Re-hire Sarri tomorrow. The players will be angry, and this anger multiplied by their yesterday's...

I obviously did. Quite surprised tbh.

Not quite. People mocked Napoli (including Sarri) for being arrogant clowns who were constantly blabbing about how they were gonna win scudetto that year (Hamsik :lol:), went all in and ended up empty-handed at the end of the season. Lazio, on the other hand, are just silently and humbly doing...

When Allegri was training Milan, his team played very well in the CL, even when their squad was way worse than it used to be. I remember that they were often facing Barcelona (that Barcelona) back then, and each time before the game I anticipated them to be destroyed. But regardless the roster...

The most depressing thing is his complete tactical inflexibility during the game (exceptions did occur, but they have been negligibly rare). I bet when he tries inserting a USB stick and it doesn't fit the first time he keeps trying doing it without spinning it for 90 minutes, and then just...

They screwed up so royally that they probably should just join Real Zaragoza.

It's difficult to understand how such a result-oriented manager as Andrea Agnelli could buy the idea of signing a coach sticking to a system which is known for giving no end product.

Dynamo Kiev - Juventus, 4:1 away win after 1:1 at home, CL quarter-finals in 1998. That's the history of Juventus.

That's the JJ way of thinking :agree:.

I think he should use the strengths of the players he has at his disposal instead of forcing them to adapt to the tactics exposing their weaknesses, expecting them to do what he asks them to do only because he thinks his ideas are great. He must stop trying to implement tactics the key to which...

In this particular case it seems that the wrong tactics is the reason players are demotivated. Sarri essentially said that players don't understand what he wants them to do. Lack of understanding leads to frustration. Frustration leads to apathy. So it's quite possible that it's not even about...

Right tactics wins for you games against equally strong or even stronger opponents. With wrong tactics you lose even in games against even much weaker opponents. So, if you have a much stronger team, it will win against much weaker opponents regardless the tactics you use, unless you managed to...

This. As a coach, he's on the same level as guys like Mazzari (I believe he didn't realize his full potential after he left Napoli), Emery (was consistently doing a great job at Sevilla, including tripple success in EL), and Gasperini (his Atalanta is pretty similar to Sarri's Napoli on many...

Do I remember it wrong, or last year Hazard did Sarri as many favors saving his ass as Ronaldo and Dybala do this season?
