Maurizio Sarri arrives in the Giovanni and Umberto Agnelli Hall at the Allianz Stadium in a suit and tie. "I'm very happy to be here today," are his first words as Juventus manager. "As a child, I was a Napoli fan and I gave everything there, both professionally and morally." Maurizio Sarri doesn't deny his Neapolitan past. "Over the last month," he says on his first day as Juventus manager, "I've had doubts, which the club has dispelled by introducing Ancelotti. It wasn't the club's fault, but mine, because I was hesitant to stay or leave. I preferred to go abroad, so as not to immediately join another Italian club. I think I respected everyone." "Juventus is the most important club in Italy. For me, it's the culmination of a very long and difficult career. I think I've respected everyone, even in the final act against Chelsea. I expect to get up in the morning and study how to win games because thinking that a result is deserved is already a defeat. Juve has an obligation to be the favorite in Italy and perform well. In the Champions League, they have an obligation to play games with the objective of winning, knowing that there are eight or nine teams of equal strength, and unfortunately, a different result must be accepted." This was Maurizio Sarri, presented today as Juventus' new coach. "The greatest responsibility lies at the Italian level. The Champions League is a dream to be pursued with fierce determination but with a monstrous difficulty coefficient," added Sarri, who clarified regarding the formation: "You need to have clear ideas about two or three players who can make the difference and put them in a position to do so."
