What's the point in rewritting history? Napoli played a completely different game before Sarri.
Benitez was distinctly stale at Napoli, came at 5th place with some 20 points less. Sarri coming in moved to 80+, got 2nd place, got 20 more goals out of Higuain in the league, revived Insigne, etc.
"improved slightly" Let's not let the hate for Sarri warp reality.

Many things are, and it's up in the air to see how it all ends.
What's certain is that the things that are currently happening with him at Juve do not retroactively change the things that Sarri and Benitez did at Napoli. The change that Napoli made when Sarri came for Benitez was crystal clear. Trying to discredit this to attack the current situation at Juve is senseless.
You can hate Sarri at Juve without erasing his past. Otherwise it's hard to take things seriously.

I agree in perspective, however i personally never wanted him here for many obvious reasons.. and i believe many here shared the same view, without taking anything away from him being a good coach, both him along with his philosophy portrayed at Napoli are just clearly not fitted for present day Juventus.
In case this isn't a rethorical question, the fact Benitez won a coppa and a supercup is not better, not even close, than what came after for Napoli. Saying "trophies" is not the end all. Ask Napoli fans how they felt seeing their team fall to 5th in Serie A and miss CL vs how they felt with Higuain breaking records and their fighting for the scudetto.
Saying they didn't come close with Sarri is disingenuous. The last Allegri vs Sarri shouldn't be forgotten. They led the table for most of the season and beat us in the last direct game. Had they beat Fiorentina in the last rounds they would have won the league. It was certainly the closest that Napoli has come to win the league in their history since Maradona.
Benitez had the shameful honor to leave Napoli out of CL in 2 out 2 seasons: finishing 3rd and losing the playoff and then finishing 5th. Which seasons would you chose for your club?

Idc about how Napoli fans felt. I care about our current coach's past and his incredible history of not being able to win shit.
Lol no they wouldn't have won. We were still one point ahead after that loss in direct game. Then we took 10/12 points to finish the season. Napoli took 6/12. Only draw came against Roma away when we needed a point to win the league and they needed a point to qualify for CL. Either team barely crossed the halfway line.
I would choose the seasons in which my team won trophies.

Anyway - we've come to a point where people starting coming out with inside information. Today we have an ex ultras on FB claiming it's a very dangerous situation for Sarri, players don't like him, they don't understand what he wants from them, they expressed their unhappiness to the management and he will be fired with immediate effect if he doesn't win against Brescia.
Obviously I choose to believe it. I always liked gurus and insiders

Umm...what?
Again, Idc about Napoli, I'm not comparing them to Juventus, it's a completely different standard. But obviously winning trophies especially for a team that hasn't won many is a plus. I'm not saying Benitez finishing 5th is better than Sarri pushing Juventus to the end. But winning trophies is better than doing absolutely nothing in other competitions. What did Sarri do with all those CL qualifications? Got eliminated to EL again. What did he do by giving up going deep in coppa for the sake of 'fighting for Scudetto'? Juve's shining cock in his mouth.
