Antonio Rudiger has taken to social media to thank Maurizio Sarri after he left Chelsea to join Juventus.
Sarri has left Chelsea to join Juventus on a three-year deal, having only been in charge in west London for one season at Stamford Bridge.
He achieved success in his short time in charge of the Blues though, with Chelsea finishing third in the Premier League and winning the Europa League as Sarri won his first major trophy in management.
However, his "strong desire" to return to his native country has now seen him switch London for Turin, with Sarri being appointed on a three-year deal by the Serie A champions.
And some of his former players at Chelsea have taken to social media this afternoon (Sunday) to thank the Italian for what he did during his time in west London.
Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta was the first to express his gratitude to Sarri on social media earlier today (Sunday) and he has now been followed by fellow defender Antonio Rudiger.
The German defender posted this message on Instagram: "Grazie Mister Sarri. You have teached [sic] me a lot & you've made me a better player. Thanks for this! Wishing you all the best and success for the future."
