Borussia Dortmund midfielder Emre Can has taken aim at Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri.

Can left Juve for Dortmund in January on-loan before signing permanently last month.

“The main reason I left Juventus was because I wanted to play football again," Can told Kicker.

“Obviously the possibility of participating in the European Championships also had an impact. I want to be part of the German national side.

“Sarri arrived in the summer and hadn't trained us in the first few weeks because he had pneumonia.

“Then, after the club had refused offers for me and taken me off the market, he called me and with a 20-second phone call announced that I wasn't on the Champions League list.

“After that call, I was denied any chance. I thought it was unfair and that's why I decided to move on in January.

“But the decision has nothing to do with the club, nor the fans."
