Maurizio Sarri admits he made 'a sensational mistake' in leaving Chelsea for Juventus, claiming Marina Granovskaia wanted him to STAY and that Werner, Ziyech and Havertz 'are all suited to me and my way of playing'

Maurizio Sarri has opened up on the regret he feels in pushing to leave Chelsea after only a season at Stamford Bridge, calling the decision 'a sensational mistake'

Sarri got his wish to leave the London club and landed the Juventus job in 2019 but looking back now, he feels he was wrong to agitate for a return to Italy and says that Marina Granovskaia, the Chelsea director, wanted him to stay.

Sarri, who is now the Lazio boss, believes that the team Chelsea have these days is better suited to his way of playing.
