MILAN (Reuters) - Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri will consider it a sign of affection if he is jeered when the Turin side face his former club Napoli on Sunday, his first return to the San Paolo stadium since his acrimonious departure in 2018.

"It's a special match for me but we mustn't waste energy on something personal when we have a collective goal which is to bring home the three points," the chain-smoking Sarri told reporters on Saturday.
