Sarri agrees three-year deal to become Juventus manager

Maurizio Sarri will reportedly become the new Juventus manager this summer after agreeing a three-year deal with the Serie A champions.

Massimilano Allegri is departing after lifting yet another league trophy with the Old Lady, and Sarri looks set to find a way out of Chelsea following a mixed season.

According to reputable Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri, Sarri will depart Stamford Bridge for a return to Italy once the club’s Europa League final against Arsenal is out of the way.

What is interesting is what Palmeri adds though; Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has rejected three approaches for his services in the process.

The Spaniard seems very content at the Etihad Stadium after clinching a domestic treble, but Sarri has been the subject of plenty of criticism all season at Chelsea.

That’s despite getting the club back into the Champions League and, of course, into a European final.
