Napoli went first this weekend, beating Atalanta 1-0 away on Sunday to go four points clear of Juventus, which hosts Genoa on Monday. But Juve, aiming for a seventh successive title, will go first from next weekend until mid-March.
"(The league) could compromise and make us play at the same time, or allow us to play some of our games before them," Sarri told reporters after Sunday's game.
"I'm sure this was done in good faith but you wonder about the capabilities of whoever decides these things," he said. "It's a gigantic mistake."

On the wewkend of Feb. 3-4, Juventus plays on Sunday afternoon with Napoli taking to the field the same evening, and on the weekend after that, Juve plays on Friday and Napoli on Saturday.
