‘Sarri deserves a big team’

Empoli striker Manuel Pucciarelli says Coach Maurizio Sarri ‘deserves’ a big club, as he’s heavily linked with Milan.

The tactician is rumoured to be on the Rossoneri’s shortlist to replace Pippo Inzaghi at the end of the season, after impressing with the Tuscan side this season.

The newly-promoted side are virtually safe from relegation already, sitting 11 points from the relegation zone, and having conceded just 32 goals this season.

The newly-promoted side are virtually safe from relegation already, sitting 11 points from the relegation zone, and having conceded just 32 goals this season.

“I’ve known him for three years,” Pucciarelli told journalists after his side’s defeat to Juventus on Saturday.

“He approaches every game in the same way, and is not afraid of anything, we came to Turin to play in our own way.

“He’s a great Coach and he deserves a big team. It’s been talked about so much and he deserves a big team.”
