Alright so if Max is not coming back, what other options are there?
Pep said he will stay at City.
Klopp is impossible, a dream.
Who else?

If you asked Garcia to set up Juventus for this match, this is exactly how hed line us up and have us play. 3 static mids that dont move much with or without the ball, only 1 player providing width on each side (AS and Cuads), and 2 strikers that arent box presences and are still cut off from the rest and have to be all over the place to be involved in the game. Perfect for the 352 they played to shut down. Now to be fair to sarree, he doesent have a mid like Aourar who will join attacks and make things happen around the box, the closest are Berna and Ramsey who arent on that level, but its better than what he put out. We didnt overload the wings constantly and force them to break formation. We didnt have a true striker we could play to and who can draw attention from CR (Mandzukic says hi, you still dont need him sarree?). We looked our usual clumsy self on defense but even more toothless than usual on offense, because sarree had no clue how to line up ahainst their 352, and later had no clue how to adjust when we couldnt attempt a single shot on target. Hopefully he figures his errors out for the return or were screwed

This is just... sad....
Probably the players just see him as an old fa*t that saw the planets aligned and he became manager of Juve. How could they, proven winners, all over the place and in comes a nobody to tell them what to do.
He still has a job because somehow ronaldo's ego and dybala's brilliance keep surficing up at the right moments.
But his luck is starting to run out.
There is this thing called pressure. It's not that hard to come up with the reason, mister sarri, if you put your mind at work. Pressure in training doesn't equal the pressure and intensity of the opposition when the game starts.
And this guy is payed 6 mil. to ask himself this questions.
I thing he is just trolling us at this time.

It goes without saying that any coach would need truly special players to win this much in 4 years in a league typically dominated by Real Madrid. Same is true of Zidane's CL titles. You can't do that with a bunch of nobodies or average players. Great players are a pre-condition for this kind of success to be had consistently. At the same time its hard to argue that any good coach would have won the same because plenty of great coaches have top squads but dont reach this kind of success consistently. Give these players to Sarri and he'd have won maybe the cope del rey and a super cup in 4 years

If you want to see a key difference between Pep and Sarri it is this: players of various levels around the world and at multiple clubs buy into Pep's ideas and implement them and all speak fondly of how much they learned from him.
In comparison, this is now the second club where Sarri cant get through to the players. And Juve is not some toxic chelsea squad that cant handle pressure or hasnt won much before. Rather this is a super experienced group who have won Serie A and cups a million times, and are led by the biggest CL winner of all time. When players of that tenure, caliber and winning record, who have also fully bought into and implemented the ideas of Conte and Allegri successfully, don't buy into your ideas then something is wrong either with your ideas or how you sell these ideas to them.

I don't understand why we can't press like most European teams. Look at Lyon surrounding our players 3 vs 1 and blocking our passing lanes. They press as team and doesn't leave space for opponent to play the ball. Most teams in modern football play like this. Yet Juve still playing like it's 90's pressing 1 vs 1 and leave so many space for opponent.
This surely isn't coach problem because under Allegri our pressing was pathetic too.
