Juventus and Maurizio Sarri 'still in talks over manager's compensation following his sacking this summer' with former Chelsea boss keen to strike a deal soon so he can return to management

Juventus and former boss Maurizio Sarri are still in discussions about settling the compensation he is due after being sacked in the summer, according to reports.

Sarri was dismissed after the club's disappointing Champions League last-16 exit at the hands of Lyon, despite the Serie A side recording a ninth consecutive league title beforehand.

The 61-year-old former Chelsea boss was swiftly replaced by Italy legend Andrea Pirlo, who had been appointed as coach of the Under-23 side in Serie C just a few days previously.
