Juventus confirm Maurizio Sarri sack after elimination from the Champions League


Maurizio Sarri has been sacked as Juventus manager.

Multiple reports have indicated that the Old Lady have cut ties with the former Napoli boss, who joined the club as recently as a year ago after one season at Chelsea.

Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted on Saturday afternoon: "BREAKING - Juventus has sacked Maurizio Sarri. Official statement soon. They'll go for a new manager."

The news comes mere hours after Juventus were eliminated from the Champions League against Lyon, winning the second leg 2-1 in Turin, but crashing out on the away-goal rule.

Juve had suffered defeat during the first game in France, held almost six months ago, before a Memphis Depay penalty left them with a mountain to climb early on at the Allianz Stadium.

Difficult 2019/20 season

Star man Cristiano Ronaldo almost bailed out his coach with a spectacular two-goal return, but it was ultimately insufficident to provide the European salvation that the club so desperately desries.

Sarri had led Juventus to their ninth consecutive Serie A title, though their late-season form was cause for concern and they won just two of their remaining eight fixtures.

That left them with a points tally of 83, their lowest since the 2011/12 campaign, with Lazio ultimately finishing just a single point behind them.

There was also disappointment in the cup as lost the Coppa Italia final on penalties against Napoli as well as the Suppercoppa Italia in a convincing 3-1 defeat to Lazio.

More to follow as we await official confirmation from the club.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others.
