Chiellini: Shower after meeting Sarri, not before!

In his new autobiography, the defender goes into some detail about just how fond the 61-year-old is of his beloved cigarettes

Juventus centre-back Giorgio Chiellini has said that he only speaks to head coach Maurizio Sarri before he takes a shower after matches and training, revealing that the former Chelsea boss' office smells so badly of cigarettes that the stench stays with you long after leaving.

Sarri, who has been at the Allianz Stadium since departing Stamford Bridge last summer, is well known for his smoking habit, famously having to chew on butts on the sidelines in lieu of the real thing due to it being illegal to light up in British stadia.
