‘Sarri is very similar to Guardiola’ – Danilo sees Juventus boss cut from same cloth as Man City chief

The Brazilian star, who swapped the Etihad for the Allianz Stadium over the summer, has worked with two of the world’s most demanding coaches

Maurizio Sarri is “very similar” to Pep Guardiola in many ways, says Danilo, a man who has worked with both across spells at Manchester City and Juventus.

Two of the most demanding coaches around were direct rivals in the Premier League last season.

Guardiola guided City to an historic domestic treble in English football, while Sarri oversaw a Europa League triumph and top-four finish for Chelsea.
