Sarri leaves Chelsea and joins Juventus. Gz to Juventus, they got the best they can. I remember people suggesting that Emery being better than Sarri :hehe:

Conte vs. Sarri going to be where the money is next season.

Serie A's revival starts here.

Please don't remind me of that.

We could have witnessed Sarrismo at Arsenal.

Oh, what could have been.

Instead, we are watching the Sevilization of Arsenal.

:rolleyes:

I have always said it, Sarri was a natural Wenger replacement in terms of football style. He could have fit in Arsenals culture perfectly.

We signing Emery as coach was just Gazidis being Gazidis, nothing more.

Love that chelsea come 3rd, get back in CL, win Europa league and still willing fg to move on from a manager who doesn’t work well for them.

Meanwhile we’ll have Emery for 15 years

It’s become interesting again

They’ve now got 3 great managers over there in Conte, Sarri and Gasperini

Sarri might know something about the CFC transfer ban that the public doesn't yet know. Maybe UEFA found some balls and managed to make the ban stick?

Inter is going to be real force on next season. De-Vrij-Godin- Skriniar three back under Conte, stuff of dreams.

^^ this is the same guy who pushed out Diego Costa after a 20-goal title winning season and spent £60m to replace him w/ Alvaro Morata.

Inter are in serious trouble regarding FFP and need to raise funds through player sales as soon as possible. Nainggolan is their only valuable asset above the age of 30.

Managers don't spend money at Chelsea. At least managers not named Jose Mourinho.

Conte is the same manager who won the title in the single-greatest managerial showdown in Premier League history: Pep, Klopp, Conte, Wenger, Mourinho, and Pochettino.

He followed this with a FA Cup win.

That title win by Chelsea might be the most impressive title win this decade. Well, second-most—after Ranieri's title win with Leicester.

Conte vs Sarri.

Underdog vs THE Dog.

Serie A gonna be lit.

Conte to slay the monster he created? I hope so.

Juve in Serie A is about as flat track as it gets.
