Juventus new manager, Maurizio Sarri, has challenged forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, to break Gonzalo Higuain’s Serie A 36-goal record for a single season.
Higuain achieved the record under Sarri at Napoli back in 2015/2016 campaign.
Sarri stated that it would be an enormous satisfaction for him to see Ronaldo break Higuain’s record next season.
The 60-year-old believes the Portugal captain, who scored 21 goals in his debut Serie A season, is at the top of the world.
“I’ve trained great players over the years, but with Ronaldo, I move on to the next level, a player who is at the top of the world,” Sarri said at a press conference in Turin on Thursday broadcast by Juventus.
“This is a lad with every record in world football and I’d like to help him set another, knowing I contributed to it.
“I trained a player with the all-time Serie A record for goals in a single season,” Sarri added.
“I’d like to make that two (Ronaldo to break the Serie A goalscoring record which Higuain set (36) at Napoli back in 2015/16). It’d be an enormous satisfaction,” he said.
