Maurizio Sarri, the former Juventus and Chelsea manager, has been held high for his play style and tactical brilliance. With the Saudi Pro League director, Michael Emenalo, looking to make their league the biggest league in the world, adding such brilliance of a manager would be a massive push for them as well.
With the negotiations looking strong this time, he was yet again asked about this move in his latest press conference before their match against Salernitana. In this conference, he came up with an interesting condition to switch his move to the Saudi Pro League.

During the press conference, Maurizio Sarri was asked, “Will you go to Saudi Arabia?” Being known as a person who smokes a lot, he replied comically, “Saudi Arabia? Can I smoke there?”. Wherein as soon as the reporter said, “Yes”. He replied, “OK then we’ll see.”
With Lazio having started the Serie A season with a bumpy start, Maurizio Sarri will be holding a feeling that he might get sacked, and for such situations and the age he is currently at, there will surely be no better option to opt for the Saudi Pro League.
