'Shocking' - Juventus fans fume at ex-Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri after defeat vs Verona

Former Chelsea head coach Maurzio Sarri has come under criticism for the brand of football that his Juventus team are playing following a 2-1 Serie A defeat to Verona on Saturday evening.

The defeat, thanks to goals from Fabio Borini and Giampaolo Pazzini cancelling out Cristiano Ronaldo's 65th minute opener, is the Sere A leaders' second in three games after they fell to a 2-1 loss to Napoli just two weeks ago.

It also leaves Juventus just three points clear at the top of the table, with second placed Inter Milan having a game in hand over their title rivals.

Sarri left Chelsea in the summer to take the role at the Italian club, with the Blues replacing the former coach will club legend Frank Lampard.

During his time at Stamford Bridge, Sarri divided fans with the team's inconsistent results and performances, despite leading the club to a third place finish and a victory in the Europa League final against Arsenal.

It now seems that the head coach is having the same affect at Juventus, with the defeat against Verona prompting fans of the Italian club to take to social media to give their thoughts on the job that the former Chelsea man is doing.

Here is what they had to say.

Sarri took charge of 63 matches during his time at Chelsea, winning 40, drawing 11 and losing the remaining 12.

His final game as Chelsea boss saw his side come out as 4-1 winners over Arsenal in the Europa League final.

It was the 61-year-old's first piece of silverware in his managerial career.
