I like what Sarri tries to do, but Napoli lost the title themselves. Right now it's would be ridiculous to complain about referees' decisions. They eliminated from CL, then from the National Cup in January, then from the Europa League in the round of 32 and even in such consequences they didn't manage to grab the Scudetto. Juve's performance on the home game vs them was awful, but the distance shows the gap between Bianconeri and others in Italy is still significant.
I think is time for Sarri to leave the team (maybe next year). It's always the same story with Napoli: fight for the
scudetto until December and then let Juventus take the title, in the Champions League people expect to see Napoli reaching crucial stages because of how good they play but they always end up KO'd. If Napoli wants to get rid of the
underdog tag then something's gotta change, or else they're gonna end up with another Wenger. It must be frustrating for the fans to always end up in 2nd place knowing that the team has much more potential :/
Sacking him will not achieve anything because the next manager would have to start all over again. They should rather give him funds to compete very effectively in Italy and in Europe as well. He should get better players and I believe it would be pivotal if they want to win the Scudetto next season.
You talk about funds to get better players but Napoli isn't exactly a club with a lot of resources (money). I think their revenue is lower than West Ham and Southampton from the EPL (teams that don't even play in the Champions League), meaning that Napoli doesn't have the budget of the big clubs in Italy (Juventus, Milan, Inter, Roma) so they can't just go and buy several top players to build a competitive squad.
@joebrook, @tomahawk9, I agree with you. He definitely needs better players or at least a longer bench to successfully implement everything he wants. De Laurentiis is an experienced manager and I believe he understands it, but I've heard he loves to use quite specific methods of holding people in his team, so I suppose not everything depends on Sarri's intentions)
As to me, I would like to see him in a rich big club like PSG or MU. I've read rumors about Chelsea, but I don't think Abramovich can provide him enough resources to fulfill his ideas
Would Abramovich want another italian manager? hmm, I don't think so.
