Sarri’s job status reportedly in jeopardy
Reports out of Italy say Maurizio Sarri could be fired even if Chelsea wins the Europa League.
Yep, really.
Sarri, 60, is wrapping up his first season at Chelsea. The Blues lost the League Cup Final in penalty kicks, finished third in the Premier League, and meet rivals Arsenal for the UEL crown.
Why would he be fired? Because the fans don’t love him. The manager would then potentially be wanted by AC Milan, Roma, and Juventus, says Football Italia.
The same outlet goes as far as to say that AC Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis, formerly of Arsenal, is headed to London to chat with Sarri. The same report says Roma would look to Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini.
Will Chelsea move on from Sarri, even with silverware in tow? It’s possible, and some salacious reports claim Frank Lampard could be targeted by Roman Abramovich.
It seems ludicrous, given how much work went into prying Sarri from his Napoli deal while Antonio Conte marinated in London.
With a transfer ban looming, Chelsea is going to need every bit of its reserves as well as consistency to continue to qualify for the UCL. Four of their five chief rivals are returning their managers for another season.
Cutting ties with Sarri would seem a mistake, especially if he took City to kicks and went on to beat Arsenal in a final.
