Serie A has not even restarted following the coronavirus stoppage, yet pressure is already mounting on Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri following his side’s failure to win the Coppa Italia.

Italy’s knockout competition was used as a prelude to the resumption of Serie A and Juve’s two matches — the semi-final second leg against AC Milan and Wednesday’s final against Napoli — both produced 0-0 draws.

Napoli then won 4-2 on penalties, quickly ending the Turin side’s hopes of a treble and putting Sarri, in his first season at the club, under more pressure than ever.

The title race restarts on Saturday. Juve, who resume on Monday with a tricky trip to Bologna, lead the table with 63 points but are only one point ahead of Lazio, who are on a 21-match unbeaten run in the league.
