'I was wrong': Maurizio Sarri reveals regrets over Chelsea exit

In the summer of 2019, Maurizio Sarri decided to leave Chelsea after just one season as the head coach to take over at Juventus. There, he would only last for a year as well.

Looking back, Sarri admits that leaving Chelsea for Juventus was the wrong decision.

"At Chelsea, I found it difficult to immerse myself in an atypical club, without a sporting director, where no coach could last two years," Sarri told La Repubblica.

"But then, in the last few months, I’ve had fun and I was wrong in wanting to leave, not so much from Chelsea, which would have also kept me, but from the Premier League, a context of unique beauty. Returning to Italy was a mistake."

Sarri's time is not viewed as an unquestionable success either at Chelsea or at Juventus — but he was able to win trophies at both clubs: the Europa League for the Blues and the last Serie A title so far for Juventus.
