‘I will lead Milan’ – Russian source makes bold claim regarding Sarri’s future | OneFootball

Maurizio Sarri has turned down a job in Russia because he will be taking over at AC Milan ahead of next season, according to a report.

The Russian website Championat (via TMW) has this morning published a report regarding who might be the next head coach of Spartak Moscow and they claim that Sarri was contacted regarding the job.

As a reminder, Sarri is currently without a club after he left Lazio a few weeks ago, but the source explains that the Italian declined the proposal because he has a more interesting proposal on the table.

Going into the details of the news, journalist Maxim Nikitin spoke about Sarri in a wider update regarding the future Spartak coach, given they are sixth in the league and could sack young Spanish coach Guillermo Abascal.

“The list of potential Spartak coaches is wide and long and there are interesting names. For example Maurizio Sarri who is not just someone’s dream: he was actually on the list because he is currently not working but, as far as I know, Sarri said: ‘Guys, in the summer I will lead Milan’. And Spartak is less interesting for him,” Nikitin said.

However, we must take this report with a pinch of salt, especially given what more reliable sources have said. For example, according to a report from the Sky website earlier in the month, Pioli has produced enough positive form in the second half of the season to keep his position.
