even if he would, he can't. a coach is allowed to coach one single serie a team per seasons.
anyway, i'm afraid it's getting increasingly more difficult to save this season. at this point, i'd be happy even with a scudetto win by the tiniest of margins. we have a shit team and zero leadership at the moment.

Conte is always an example of the impact of a coach on a team's motivation and play. He did it with Juve (transforming us from a 7th placed team to Serie A dominance), Italy, Chelsea (again a 7th placed team to champions in one season), and now with Inter. And almost always a good chunk of the team are new to the team and often include multiple rejects of other clubs mixed with previously under performing players from the same club. His effect on his team's gameplay and motivation is almost instant.
Ancellotti is now proving it again with Everton. They were in free fall and he came in and within weeks you see them playing at a much higher level.
I can buy the "toxic team/club culture" argument at other clubs like Chelsea or United but not Juve. The comparison with Allegri doesnt stand. They started playing like shit after years of success and years of him tinkering and trying all his ideas. He was also never an attacking coach and never will be. Allegri's team had an identity for most of his tenure and did Conte's team (both mostly defensive identities). It only stopped working at the end.
The whole point of bringing Sarri was to inject new hunger and new offensive ideas into the team and thus far he has done neither. These players bought into Conte's ideas and Allegri's ideas for years and implemented them to perfection. If they are not listening to Sarri or dont see merit in his plans then thats on him not on them.

In a perfect world, sure. But there are two sides to this story. Think Pep, even he admits he only managed to do what he did with that Barcelona because of the players he had. Having such natural talents like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta at their peak is like starting a 2000m race being at 100m away from the finish line.
