Despite young striker Domenico Berardi scoring an incredible four goals against AC Milan in Serie A yesterday, Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta has warned the striker he cannot expect a guaranteed recall to Turin for next season yet.
Berardi hit all four goals for Sassuolo as they beat the Rossoneri 4-3 and as a direct result, Milan opted to sack coach Massimiliano Allegri, relieving him of his duties earlier today.

The 19-year-old is co-owned by Juventus and Sassuolo, and such form could be expected to lead to him turning out for the Italian champions next season.
But Marotta has cooled thoughts of that being done and dusted.

"It's risky to say that [Juventus will take him for next season]", Marotta told Radio 1.
"We need to see how he develops.
"He is young and Juve is a difficult step."
Regardless of Juventus' decision, Berardi is enjoying a fine campaign with Sassuolo and became youngest player for 80 years to grab a four-goal haul in a Serie A game when he struck against Milan.
