Sarri reaches Serie A Century

By Football Italia staff

Maurizio Sarri has made history by reaching his 100th Serie A victory in only 169 games, as the fastest to reach a century from 1994 was Carlo Ancelotti on 185.

The coach turns 61 next month, but did not make his top flight debut until August 31 2014, when his Empoli lost 2-0 at Udinese.

He was 55 years, seven months and 21 days old at the time.

Following today’s 2-1 victory away to Sampdoria, Sarri’s Serie A tally now stands at 100 wins, 43 draws and 26 defeats.

Since the 1994-95 season, the coach who reached 100 Serie A victories quickest was Ancelotti, who took 185 games to hit this milestone.

Sarri only began his management career in 2000, having previously worked in a bank.

He spent most of his career in the lower leagues with the likes of Sansovino, Sangiovannese, Arezzo, Avellino, Perugia, Grosseto and Sorrento.
