Juve-Sarri, Agnelli’s trip to London decisive: the backstory

A behind the scenes look for new Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri, who was officially named the club's manager yesterday morning. The agreement with the former Chelsea coach was reached during a blitz in London with Agnelli, Paratici and Nedved. The Juve leadership, traveling in a private jet, arrived in the England capital shortly after the Europa League final and went to Sarri's home.

At this meeting, Juve made it clear to Sarri that they were strongly targeting him as their next manager and made a pact that then led to his appointment as manager in the following weeks.
