David Luiz has shared his thoughts on the moment Maurizio Sarri departed Chelsea for Juventus, calling it a sad day for the club.
In an interview with Sky Sports ahead of the UEFA Conference League clash between Paphos and Atalanta, the Brazilian defender reminisced about Sarri's decision to return to Italy.
I understand it must have been hard for him to say no to Juventus, Luiz noted.
Reflecting on his time under Sarri, Luiz mentioned that playing for the Italian was a genuine pleasure, highlighting Sarri's true passion for the game.
One of the standout moments Luiz recalled was Sarri's childlike joy upon winning the UEFA Europa League. He described how the manager looked at his medal with the excitement of a young boy.
During Sarri's tenure, Chelsea faced significant challenges at the start of the season. However, they ultimately secured a third-place finish in the Premier League, coupled with that coveted European trophy.
