The 2019 Summer Manager Roulette

Maurizio Sarri reportedly gave an emotional farewell to his Chelsea players after leading them to an historic Europa League title over long term London rivals Arsenal tonight in Azerbaijan. It is believed that regardless of the result, he is set to be appointed as the next manager of Italian champions Juventus in the coming days. A dressing room source was quoted as saying 'Maurizio had tears in his eyes as he gave an emotionally charged speech to the players. It's no secret he hasn't settled in London and his relationship with the players and fans is icy. He feels as if he's stifled in England by the Media and has to be on his best behaviour. He's looking forward to getting back to an enviroment where you can throw around slurs at opposition managers and players with little reprisal. Of course, I think he realised that the reason for it is that there are less people watching the games than players Chelsea have out on loan at other clubs. Hence the tears.

Juventus recently sacked notorious European failure specialist Massimiliano Allegri and will be hoping that Sarri's Europa league experience will lead them to long awaited European silverware in the competition next season after they fail to make it out of the CL groups. [EuropaLeagueNewsNetwork]
