New Juventus coach Sarri: Chelsea a beautiful experience

New Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri has described his time with Chelsea as a "beautiful experience".

Sarri was presented to local media this morning at Juventus stadium.

He said, "I do not know if it's the most revolutionary decision of my career, I went to Naples because I was an Azzurri fan since I was a child and I felt that we could be competitive, that's why I gave it my all ... In the last months I felt that the adventure was coming to an end and the club took me out of doubt by signing (Carlo) Ancelotti.

"I had offers from Italian clubs, but I preferred to go outside and had a beautiful experience, although I felt the need to return to Italy and Juventus, which is the most important club in this country.

"They gave me this opportunity, I never saw a club want to sign a coach with such determination."

Sarri continued: "What I want to do is get up in the morning and look for ways to win games, in Italy we are the favorites, the Champions League is a goal that we must seek with fierce determination, but we must be aware that in Europe there are teams with great strength and that the Champions have some monstrous difficulties."
