It is extremely hard to believe Agnelli handpicked Sarri. There is definitely a collective responsibility involved here. Ofcourse final say is down to him but it would've taken some convincing by Nedved and Paratici for Agnelli to ditch Allegri for Sarri.
It’s unbelievable that some members believe Agnelli is solely responsible for hiring coaches and the sporting director of the club has nothing to do with it lol. Of course Agnelli has final say, but it’s pretty obvious the guy responsible for all sporting aspects of the club, transfers, etc. would be a very large part of that and the initial person behind any coaching changes. Not to mention Paratici’s own quotes about loving Sarri and him being the first target and the ideal.
“In previous years, he had made an impression on us with Napoli and we felt for ourselves how good he was,” Paratici told
Tuttosport. “Then he played great football in a difficult environment at Chelsea and in the Premier League. It’s not easy to be a foreigner in a different kind of football.
“He finished third and won the Europa League. A mix of these things led to us considering him as the ideal Juventus coach, from the beginning. He was our first choice.”
He literally called Sarri “the ideal Juventus coach.”
If this doesn’t spell clueless about what this club stands for, I don’t know what does.
