#3 Maurizio Sarri set to be appointed as Juventus Manager

Sarri is inching closer to the Juventus job

The curious case of the next Juventus manager continues to drive the football world nuts. Despite all the heavy names linked to the top job, Chelsea's Maurizio Sarri continues to be the front runner for the job, however the biggest problem with this would be the rivalry between Juventus and Sarri's former club Napoli.

It was a point that was highlighted by Napoli Skipper Insigne, who played under Sarri when he was the Napoli manager

Sarri in Juventus for us Neapolitans would be a betrayal, and I hope he changes his mind.

But the Chelsea manager brushed aside those remarks, saying

Who is a traitor? Someone who backs out. It’s someone who gives precedence to individual objectives over collective ones.

Many players have switched Milan clubs. It would be better not to do it directly, but over the course of a career it can happen.

Now reports are surfacing that reveal that Juventus could confirm the appointment of Sarri in the middle of this week, between Wednesday and Thursday. Things could get pretty interesting in the upcoming days.
