Former Juventus star Claudio Marchisio has urged patience with manager Maurizio Sarri, saying he's the right choice for the club and needs time to implement his vision.

The Italian spoke to DAZN (h/t Football Italia) and addressed the rumours surrounding the former Napoli and Chelsea boss:

"I think Sarri was the right choice for Juventus. Obviously, it takes time. The Bianconeri came from two great winning cycles under [Antonio] Conte and [Massimiliano] Allegri.

"Maurizio can count on a great squad and came from playing beautiful football with Napoli to win a big trophy in Europe with Chelsea, despite the difficulties he suffered.
