Reports are growing In Italy that Maurizio Sarri’s time at Juventus is up, with a crisis meeting called, Mauricio Pochettino, Zinedine Zidane and Simone Inzaghi contacted.
Multiple sources now suggest the decision has been made and the coach informed, with a statement expected imminently.
Last night’s Champions League exit at the Round of 16 stage to Olympique Lyonnais proved the final straw for a campaign that has been consistently below expectations.
Sarri had led Juventus to their ninth consecutive Serie A title, though their late-season form was cause for concern and they won just two of their remaining eight fixtures.
That left them with a points tally of 83, their lowest since the 2011/12 campaign, with Lazio ultimately finishing just a single point behind them.
There was also disappointment in the cup as lost the Coppa Italia final on penalties against Napoli as well as the Suppercoppa Italia in a convincing 3-1 defeat to Lazio.
