His biggest mistake was trying everything to implement possession football even after it became obvious that our players just don't have the technical ability to make it work.
Too many ego's in the team that werr bigger than his - Ronaldo only wanted to play a certain position, Bonucci only wanted to defend a certain way, etc

The start of the rot was Allegri.
We started to see issues at the end of Allegri's first spell mainly driven by a less reliable squad and the injuries in his team. We still hit 90 points and won the league by 11 points.

But under Sarri there was a more significant change. We lost the ability to turn games around and we suddenly seemed beatable. We won the league by a point and lost 7 games. It seemed like there was a real change in mentality both for us and opponents.

Guy had pneumonia and every single player hated his repulsive personality and still won the Scudetto with a Pjanic, Matuidi, Bentancur, Ramsey, Rabiot midfield.

The downfall started somewhere else. We still had prestige and standing when we fired him. We could have went another direction from there.
