Since Massimiliano Allegri left Turin Juventus has never been able to find a suitable replacement for the coach. Allegri stayed five years at Juventus and transformed the team into one of the most dangerous ones in the world. After his departure, Maurizio Sarri coached the team for just a year, which wasn't good. For this new season, Andrea Pirlo has arrived. But the executives have lost their patience on him.

Former Napoli and Chelsea, Maurizio Sarri arrived at Turin seen as one of the best Italian coaches of the world. In Napoli he has won the Coppa Italia after many years and taken the team back to the UEFA Champions League. In Chelsea, he won the UEFA Europa League.

In Juventus he has never been able to handle the team correctly. Almost the same is happening to Andrea Pirlo, who is facing his first season as head coach. Pirlo has another extra problem: the truth is that Juventus hired him because they are still paying part of Sarri's salary, so they needed a cheap coach.

All this problems have taken Juventus executives to search for new options. They seem to have found one that the like: Simone Inzaghi, the current Lazio coach who has done an extraordinary job in front of the club. Lazio almost won the last Serie A and is now competitive in Champions League. Plus, his contract isn't huge.
