Summary
Maurizio Sarri has brushed aside any lingering attachment to Juventus ahead of Sunday's Serie A clash, telling Sky Sport that his single season in Turin left him with few fond memories—partly due to empty stadiums from March onwards during the pandemic year—and no regrets about the move.
The Atalanta manager framed his current project as a long-term construction, comparing the early struggles to his time at Empoli, where the side sat bottom after nine games before reaching the playoff final. He stressed that new arrivals have different timelines and physical readiness, but praised their collective willingness to work and dismissed the notion that any coach is ever truly content with their summer business.
