      Half a day after the relegation by Lyon in the last 16 of the Champions League, Juventus fired Mauricio Sari today (Saturday). According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Italian champion informed the coach of the decision made last night, and about half an hour after his report, the official announcement did come out.

      Mauricio Pochettino and Simona Inzaghi have been mentioned as candidates to replace him, but during the evening there were reports of the possible appointment of former star Andrea Pirlo, who only last week took over as Juventus' reserve team coach.

      The club's announcement reads: "Juventus announces the release of Sari from the position of first team coach. The club would like to thank the coach who wrote a new page in the history of Juventus by winning the ninth Scudetto in a row - the culmination of his personal journey through all Italian football leagues."

      The 61-year-old Sari has recently become the oldest coach to win the Italian championship, which also constituted his first title in his country after the previous season had led Chelsea to a Europa League win. But his first and only season as the old lady's coach can not be registered as a success, given the fall in the Champions League and the amount of losses and absorbs in the league that made this championship the least impressive in the current Juventus dynasty. Aside from failure in Europe, the champions also lost in the Cup final to Napoli and have won just twice in the last eight league rounds.

      Juventus would have been happy to see Zinedine Zidane return for a second round in Turin, only this time as coach, but this option is less feasible given Real Madrid's desire to continue with him and the existing contract. Simona Inzaghi was very successful at Lazio but is also under contract, so the leading candidate is Pochettino, who has not worked since being sacked by Tottenham in November. According to "Sport Italia", an appeal to the Argentine coach was made last night. But as mentioned, the one who may get the coveted position is the former legend of the team Andrea Pirlo, who only a few days ago was appointed coach of Juventus until the age of 23.

      According to other reports, the one who may pay the price after Sari is the sporting director Fabio Pratici, who works The club has been around for 10 years.
