AC Milan icon Arrigo Sacchi admits he urged his old club to hire Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri.

Napoli currently sit top of the Serie A table.

“I spoke to (then CEO Adriano) Galliani and then with (then President Silvio) Berlusconi, telling them that if they hired Sarri, they would prove after 25 years to be ahead of the curve, just like they were when they hired me," Sacchi told GR Parlamento radio.

“He was undecided and eventually regretted it. Berlusconi was a great President, the best in Italy and beyond too. He never thought small.

“I also advised him to get Dybala, who is a great player and very intelligent."
