Chelsea midfielder Jorginho’s agent confirms if Maurizio Sarri had still been the coach, ‘perhaps he’d have joined Juventus, so we’re waiting to see where he goes’ next.
The Italy international worked well with Sarri at Empoli, Napoli and then Stamford Bridge, so naturally there were strong reports he’d reunite with his favourite coach in Turin as well.
However, Sarri was sacked after just one season in charge – despite winning the Serie A title – and is currently without a club.

The Italy international worked well with Sarri at Empoli, Napoli and then Stamford Bridge, so naturally there were strong reports he’d reunite with his favourite coach in Turin as well.
However, Sarri was sacked after just one season in charge – despite winning the Serie A title – and is currently without a club.
“He’s very happy with Frank Lampard and Chelsea can do even better than last season,” agent Joao Santos told Calciomercato.it.
“Almost all the Italy players are in Serie A, as it’s an important league, but his journey took him to London. If Maurizio Sarri had remained, perhaps he’d have joined Juventus.
“Jorginho has a personal and professional bond with the coach that is very strong. We’re waiting to see where Sarri goes, and if it’s a big club in Italy, Jorginho could follow him.”
Italy are top seeds for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and are currently top of their Nations League group, so heading for the Final Four.
“Being central to the Nazionale is a reward after 10 years of hard work at Verona, Napoli and Chelsea. If Italy win the Nations League, then they’ll go into the Euros with even more title-winning credentials.”
