Maurizio Sarri is back on the training pitch at Juventus.

The veteran coach has been missing from the first weeks of the season after copping a bout of pneumonia.

Corriere dello Sport says yesterday Sarri directed part of Juventus training from the pitch, despite the rain that fell on the Continassa.

The Juve coach, sheltered under a gazebo during the practice match between the Primavera and U23s, appeared in fairly good shape. The pneumonia seems to be behind him.

The chances of the Tuscan coach returning to the bench against Fiorentina are now improving.
