If Maurizio Sarri thought the treatment he got from Chelsea fans was bad, he ought to prepare himself for life as Juventus manager.
All signs now point to Sarri leaving Chelsea and embarking on life in Turin.
Maurizio Sarri expects to be freed from Chelsea to take over as Juventus manager, Sky in Italy understands

Sarri’s time at Chelsea has been short, but we’ll stop short of saying sweet.
While he achieved everything that was expected of him in his debut season as Chelsea manager, many of the fans in attendance at Stamford Bridge didn’t warm to him.
Anti-Sarriball chants could be heard ringing around the stadium at times this season, which itself led to doubts over his long-term future in charge of the club.
Things could be about to get even worse for Maurizio, however, with the Daily Mail reporting that ‘#SarriOut’ has already been trending in Italy.
The report claims that this is as a result of Juventus fans reacting angrily to the fact their club are pursuing Sarri as their Massimiliano Allegri replacement.
They’ll no doubt forget his Napoli past if he succeeds at the Allianz Stadium, but he could be set for a baptism of fire when he steps out for his first game as manager.
