Eusebio Di Francesco claims Sassuolo “is the ideal place to work” for a Coach and he’s cheering on Juventus to beat Milan.
The Neroverdi swept Inter aside 3-1 this evening to secure sixth place, but it’ll only get them into the Europa League if Juve win the Coppa Italia Final next Saturday.
“I’d be a hypocrite if I said I wasn’t cheering on Juventus,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“I’d be a hypocrite if I said I wasn’t cheering on Juventus,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“We deserve this opportunity and we are preparing for it. Clearly if we did qualify for Europe, something would change in terms of the transfer market.
“We always focus on quality young players that we can grow and help mature. I like working this way, as it is very satisfying.
“We need one new player per section, but this is premature, because we could also lose someone.”
Di Francesco recently extended his contract with Sassuolo and is very happy with the decision.
“Sassuolo is the ideal place to work, as there is planning, a serious approach with the opportunity to use my ideas and that is fundamental for any Coach.
“I consider myself very fortunate, as I’ve had four splendid years so far.”
How have Sassuolo grown from Serie B minnows to top flight regulars and Europa League contenders?
“Repetition, perseverance, the desire to improve and the right attitude are fundamental for players to improve in training.
“For example, when Francesco Magnanelli and Simone Missiroli arrived, they were not suited to Serie A, but have now proved they can happily play in the top flight.
“Along with an impressive attacking approach, we also have the fourth best defence in the League. That means the team works as a unit, not just as a back four.”
