Marina explains why Maurizio Sarri’s leave Chelsea

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaya has explained the reasons behind Maurizio Sarri’s decision to leave the Blues just after one year at the helm.
Granovskaya said:

“In talks we had following the Europa League final, Maurizio made it clear how strongly he desired to return to his native country, explaining that his reasons for wanting to return to work in Italy were significant.

“He also believed it important to be nearer his family, and for the well-being of his elderly parents, he felt he needed to live closer to them at this point.

“Maurizio leaves Chelsea with thanks from us all for the work he and his assistants did during the season he spent as our head coach, and for winning the Europa League, guiding us to another cup final and a third-place finish in the Premier League.

“We would also like to congratulate him on securing the role as big as any in Serie A and to wish him the best of luck for the future”

The Italian is leaving for Juventus. He has agreed on a £6.2million-per-season, three-year agreement with the Old Lady.

He will take over from Massimiliano Allegri, who has left the Bianconeri at end of the last season.
