Former Juventus coach Fabio Capello has praised the work of Maurizio Sarri.

Matthijs de Ligt says Sarri plays "total football".

“If De Ligt says it, then who am I to contradict him?" noted Capello in Tuttosport.

“However, I wouldn't just say that Sarri deserves this tag, because there are other Italians who have a similar conception of football. I will say that I watched Sarri's work at Chelsea too and he is a coach capable of adapting to the players he has at that moment. I consider that a very intelligent attitude.

“It means that Sarri is both practical and with an attacking, winning mentality."
