4 reasons why Chelsea must sack Maurizio Sarri immediately

#3 He has not shown tactical versatility

Sarri's tactics are painfully predictable

For the most part of his managerial career, Maurizio Sarri has shown a penchant for sticking with a 4-3-3 formation with a deep-lying playmaker being the fulcrum through which his team operates.

It is a system which has brought him plenty of admirers with very little in terms of trophies, which begs the question as to why he chooses to still stick with it.

Even the average football fan with very little to negligible tactical knowledge would have a perfect understanding of how Sarri sets his team up to play after a few minutes of watching them.

Mauricio Pochetino showed the league the way to crack sarriball by man-marking Jorginho in the aforementioned victory and this served as a template for other managers to follow, as Unai Emery, Nuno Espirito, Eddie Howe but to name a few have all followed this plan to the letter to victorious effects.

Rather painfully, Sarri has failed to develop another system, with his substitutions, formation and playing pattern all largely the same which betrays his perceived status as a top-level coach.

World class coaches like Pep Guardiola, Antonio Conte, Jurgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochetino and even the much maligned Jose Mourinho have all shown to possess tactical versatility and the requisite ability to switch things up when results go against them and since Sarri has shown himself incapable of this, he is no longer fit to be Chelsea manager.
