5 things Maurizio Sarri needs to do at Chelsea in order to win the Premier League

#4 Make Jorginho central to his plans like his days in Napoli

Jorginho to Manchester City looked a done deal a month ago; however, in what can be termed as a massive last minute coup, Chelsea hijacked the deal from under the noses of the Premier League champions to sign the midfielder for a reported fee of ₤57 million. This clearly suggests he was persuaded to make the move to London by Sarri, who has managed him at Napoli for the last three years.

He is an excellent passer of the ball, and completed more number of passes in Europe’s top five leagues this past season than anyone. Jorginho was key to the aggressive possession football Napoli played under Sarri last season which almost propelled them to a title win.

However, whether the 22-year-old can put up with the rigours and physicality of the Premier League is a question the new Chelsea boss needs to address. If Sarri can extract the same level of performance out of the Italy international, then there is every possibility Chelsea would give their rivals a run for their money in the upcoming season.
