Sarri has Lazio well placed for Champions League qualification this season.

"I have a wonderful relationship with him, I still feel it today. In my small way, I tried to give him a hand, because helping him meant helping Juve. Too bad, it didn't work but it could have worked.
"Now there are difficulties, but Juve is reacting from Juve. I see unity and unity, regardless of whether you like it or not, in their play The penalty and the change in management have allowed the boys to team up to challenge injustice."
