Maurizio Sarri: “A regret? Maybe Milan, I came close and then…”
“Have I received calls? Not from Italian clubs, unfortunately. And honestly, I’m a bit sorry, there were free benches in teams that I imagined could be for me. I wasn’t even asked for a chat. Presidents decide, of course. But I deserved to be listened to at least a quarter of an hour. What if I’m referring to Milan and Fiorentina? They were two teams suited to me, of course.” the words of Maurizio Sarri to Corriere della Sera.
The former Napoli, Juventus, Chelsea and Lazio coach also told us what one regret he has in his coaching career: “What if I have a regret? Maybe Milan, I came close and then they didn’t want me. Napoli came, the most intense experience of my career.”
At Napoli he said: we lost the scudetto in the hotel, and there too… «You can laugh all you want, but that’s how it went. There was a sensational error, later recognized, by one of the best referees, Orsato, in Inter-Juventus. We were in retreat in the hotel: I left my room pissed off, I wanted to smash everything, but I had to cheer up the boys. I saw them sitting on the hotel stairs, crying. It was already too late: we lost against Fiorentina and the scudetto went to Juve”, Sarri’s words.
Two years later he went to Juventus and won it there. «It was a journey of great suffering, complete with family arguments. Let’s say that as a Napoli fan I struggled. I shouldn’t have left Chelsea, that’s it.”
Is it the mistake you complain about the most? “There is no doubt. There were good bases to stay, I made a big mistake. We won the Europa League, the project was great but I wanted to return to Italy, unfortunately.”
