Juve snares Sarri, Lampard in line for Chelsea return

MILAN - Maurizio Sarri was named coach of Juventus after his exit from Chelsea was confirmed by both clubs on Sunday.

Sarri returns to Italy on a threeyear deal just a season after leaving Napoli for Stamford Bridge, where he failed to garner fan support despite winning the Europa League and returning the Blues to the Champions League thanks to a third-place finish in the Premier League.

"Maurizio Sarri has returned to Italy, where he has coached for the majority of his career. And from today, he will take over the reins at Juventus with a contract until June 30, 2022," the Turin club said in a statement.
