Sarri: I'm not a traitor!

By Football Italia staff

Maurizio Sarri insists he would not be a traitor if he joined Juventus. “A traitor is someone who backs out, many players have switched Milan clubs.”

More excerpts of Sarri’s Vanity Fair interview have been released, with the Coach again forced to ask questions about whether he would deceive Napoli by moving to Juve via Chelsea.

“Who is a traitor? Someone who backs out,” maintained the 60-year-old.

“It’s someone who gives precedence to individual objectives over collective ones.

“Therefore I prefer the front of a jersey, where the badge of a club lies. Behind it is the name of a player: that side interests me less.

“Kissing the shirt? Why deprive yourself of an act of love, in anticipation of what will happen perhaps 10 years later?

“Many players have switched Milan clubs. It would be better not to do it directly, but over the course of a career it can happen.”
