I was never arguing that Sarri should've stayed, he shouldn't have. I was arguing that an experienced coach is likely to do better than a total shot in the dark, despite the comparison trying to portray Pirlo as superior, Sarris first half season vs Pirlos is a lot better in Serie A.
Cheap shouldn't be a factor for the coaches, you don't skimp on the most important part of the team. Difference between Pirlo and Allegri in salary is what, probably ~6m? You can cover that if you replace one of our midfield subs with the most promising U23 player or a million other ways. I'd instantly sacrifice a first team backup for a promising youngster if I get to upgrade the coach
Not that I think you are wrong but Sarri and Pirlo have different stories.
Sarri came here with the idea of making us play good football that is also nice to watch.
First half of the season was definitely better than Pirlo but the signs were completely different as while Pirlo`s Juve keep improving (at least up until this post), Sarri`s Juve were in decline.
For a matter of fact I thought Lazio are going to beat us for the Scudetto. Then Juve Inter and Lazio competed as who can fuck up less.
We fucked up less so we won but we kind of returned in the same path we were going to while Lazio completely changed shape from winning mode to losing mode.
Fact is Sarri won a Scudetto but it feels way more than the other lost their chance.
Pirlo is the exact opposite and while I still think there is some work to be done, we are improving and we will probably have a better 2nd half.
The thing is - Inter are way better than last year and Milan continued their great run since they returned from the Covid break.
Lazio are not there anymore but I guess you can compare last year`s Lazio to this year`s Milan. The main difference is Milan leading the table.
Despite me rooting for Milan (if its Inter vs Milan for the Scudetto), Inter are likely to catch them as they have more depth.
Juventus - We are team X - We can keep on rising or we can start a decline or have a consistency issue.
