Sarri: “I have offers from abroad, but I find it difficult to leave”

His concern and disappointment at the fact that some teams looking for a coach did not think of him, he expressed in his statements to the Italian “Sky Sports” Maurizio Sarri.

The 65-year-old coach, who has in his hands a rich proposal from Panathinaikos and his answer is expected soon, he emphasized that Milan and Fiorentina were two projects that he would like, but he does not understand why he was not invited to discuss with them even for 15 minutes…

At the same time, he noted that he knows that at the moment it is difficult to find an offer from an Italian club and his only option is abroad, but he finds it difficult to leave his country.

He initially spoke about the possibility of their return to the stands: “Hopefully as soon as possible, I had two months where I had family problems and needed a rest, I didn’t miss football much. Now, my desire is to come back and it may happen within the next two months. At the moment, finding a solution from the domestic market is difficult, but I’m also finding it difficult to go abroad”

To then refer to the concern that caused him that he was not approached by various teams from Italy… “Clearly this is an issue I have to wonder about. I won’t hide from you that some clubs that didn’t look for me left me a bit disappointed, some situations to tell you the truth… I’m not saying they had to, those are choices that a club has to make, but I think it was necessary to listen to me at least for a quarter… It’s something I can’t influence, or rather I can influence if I understand why”.

He was then asked if he means Milan and Fiorentina who did not enter the process of having an appointment with him… “I won’t name names, but they are two cases that I think were right for me”replied the Italian technician.

Sarri then also referred to Conte’s arrival at Napoli: “They will have to go through a process with a radical change in the way they play. Fortunately, Conte is very quick in these situations to transfer his mentality and style of play. So I don’t see them outside the top three… Am I missing Napoli a bit? Very…”.

The Italian coach also spoke about the negotiation with Sevilla: “There was a bit of negotiation but they had different needs than mine so it didn’t go much further.”

“The biggest mistake of my career. The conditions were there for me to stay, in a difficult society where you probably don’t finish the second season like it happened to everyone in the Abramovich era. But I was in the Premier League circle. We had made a good run. Last year the team finished fifth, we finished third behind Liverpool and City. We won the Europa League with 13 wins and lost a League Cup final on penalties to City after knocking out Liverpool and Tottenham who went to the Champions League final that year. I made a huge mistake that I should have avoided. The desire to return to Italy had to be less than the desire to stay in the Premier League, which had to be superior.”he emphasized in another part of the interview.
