Sarri in a nutshell. Throw the players under the bus every time anything goes wrong.
We hired a clueless clown.

I feel for Allegri. Year after year of success and the board refused to back him properly and sort out our midfield issues, finish building a well-balanced squad, instead loading up on injury prone freebies and then expecting Ronaldo to come in and be some kind of cure-all panacea for any problems all on his own.
Buffon, Chiellini, Ronaldo, and Allegri deserve(d) better.

Folks keep mentioning Simone Inzaghi. But why is he considered less of a risk than Sarri? Sarri played great football with Napoli, now Simone is doing the same with Lazio. Neither have really won a lot. Just trying to understand the logic here, especially when other managers are available or could be available.

Was there anybody that was rejoicing when Sarri was hired? Like totally going crazy? I know I wasn't.
Back when Capello was hired, I was pretty happy, and so were some others. But he ended up just being an old Italian asshole who played a straight 4-4-2 with a crazy talented squad who couldn't get past the quarters of the Champions League, playing lethargic, unconvincing football for two straight seasons. We won, but that football was crap.
Maybe it's time to try something other than old Italian assholes. Let's give a middle-aged Spanish asshole a try.

Simone Inzaghi is old? He’s 43.
I think the attraction to Inzaghi is that he’s a young and promising coach. Lot’s of room to grow and adapt, grow into the role at a big club.
Sarri is 60, stubborn as a mule, and has a pretty narrow vision of how he wants his team to play.
Zidane would be ideal. But if we can’t get a top tier coach like him due to availability, I’d prefer we go for a young, promising coach like Inzaghi who has managed to win 3 trophies with Lazio and has them right up there this year, competing for a scudetto.

Nor would I. If he wins Serie A this year, That would definitely have him showing he’s ready for the Juve bench, but even if he just continues their great season, challenging to the end, he’s one of the more impressive young managers out there.
But as I said, Zidane, or someone of his standing should be first choice.

If we go out against Lyon then Sarri needs to be sacked for it.
I am against sacking coaches midseason but i have changed my mind here, if he loses to Inter and cannot turn the tie around against Lyon then kick him out he's beyond "not good enough for Juventus" and into "completely incompetent" level territory.
One thing from in particular from his comments stand out to me "I don’t know why, I cannot get the players to understand the importance of moving the ball quickly. " Getting the players to understand the importance of this is your entire fucking job and here you are admitting that you cannot do it and you do not know why or how to change that. IMO this guy is worse than Del Neri or Zaccheroni because Del Neri or Zacherroni and were struggling with mediocre players.
@Strickland @Afghan_juventus @Nedved96 @pavluska I present to you:
"Wednesday marked the very first time that Lyon have beaten Juventus in European competition having lost three of their previous four such encounters and managing just a single draw "
"not since November 2009 had the Biaconeri lost against French opposition in the Champions League, with the last such setback coming in a 2-0 defeat against Bordeaux in the group stages. "
It is also the first time the French outfit have come out on the winning side in a Champions League knock-out tie since February 2012, when they prevailed 1-0 over APOEL Nicosia. "
"Juve are usually a potent attacking threat in European competition, but on Wednesday they failed to test the opposition goalkeeper for the first time in over five years. "
"Juventus have conceded in seven consecutive away games in all competitions, their longest such run without a clean sheet in a single season since May 2010, when they were scored upon for 18 straight matches. "
