Juventus have sacked Maurizio Sarri as manager after they failed to qualify for the Quarter Finals of the UEFA Champions league even though they defeated Lyon by 2 – 1 on Friday 7th August 2020.
According to reports, Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, is their first choice to replace the sacked Sarri.
Italian Sarri, 61, was appointed on a three-year contract last summer after one year at Premier League club Chelsea.
Juventus lost three of their last four league matches to finish only one point clear of Inter Milan in the end.
They were also beaten by Napoli in the Coppa Italia final after football in the country restarted following the coronavirus shutdown.
Juventus are two-time European Cup/Champions League winners but have not lifted the trophy since 1996.
Former banker Sarri succeeded Massimiliano Allegri in June 2019.
Sarri will pocket €20m for the sacking according to reports.
