According to a recent report from Corriere dello Sport, Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri is not pleased with sporting director Fabio Paratici after he was unable to trim the fat from the first team squad during the summer transfer window. It caused a great deal of tension at the club with both Mandzukic and Can not featuring in Juventus’ Champions League squad, which does make you wonder how much control Sarri truly does have.

It’s obvious to see that this is going to be an odd relationship with plenty of speed bumps, and that’s been the case ever since he arrived, to be perfectly honest.

Sarri’s jump to the Italian champions always felt like a bit of an impulsive move, and given that he’s been there for such a short period of time, it certainly doesn’t feel like they’ve gotten off to the best of starts.

Now, it’s all about producing the goods on the pitch.
