Maurizio Sarri Says He Has Been 'Defined as a Taliban' by Critics at Chelsea

Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri has hit out at the criticism he received during his one-year spell at Chelsea last season.

The 60-year-old Italian said he was unfairly criticised for attempting to implement his philosophies at Stamford Bridge while also discussing criticism he has faced in Turin.

Per MailOnline's Kishan Vaghela, Sarri said:

"I was defined as a Taliban because I always wanted to play my football, now it's not good enough because I adapt to the different characteristics of my players.

"If I had to listen to or read the things that are said about Juventus, I would go crazy.
