Former manager at Chelsea, and new Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri has admitted that smoking is a necessity for him, with up to 60 cigarettes going down each day.
Sarri, who is currently on vacation in Ascoli-Piceno, had a conversation with local site La Nuova Riviera.
He discussed his love for the area and why he’s considering a second home there after renting for several years, even if he might be put off by a new rule banning smoking on the beach.

“I smoke 60 a day, which is probably a few too many,” confessed Sarri, who had also been spotted chewing cigarette filters on the touchline during his Chelsea days.
“I don’t particularly feel the need to smoke during games, but straight afterwards it really is necessary. I had back problems tormenting me for weeks, but I feel much better now.”
