3 Possible Destinations For Maurizio Sarri

#1 Chelsea F.C

Stamford Bridge is said to be the next most probable destination for Maurizio Sarri

The frontrunners to secure Sarri's signature, Chelsea is currently coming off a disappointing season where they failed to secure a Top 4 finish and UCL football- for the second time in 3 years.

Incumbent manager Antonio Conte has guided his men to FA Cup honors this season, ensuring a strong end to a trying season where his squad has had issues with consistency but the rumour mill is agog with reports stating that he could soon be replaced with Maurizio Sarri.

While Conte has repeatedly reaffirmed that he intends to see out the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge, Roman Abramovich may look to shake things up with a fresh appointment. The fact that Conte has been publicly critical of Chelsea's transfer business does him no favors.

He has lamented the fact that he does not have enough firepower at his hands to put up a title charge. Sarri is said to have become a frontrunner after Luis Enrique made wage demands that the Blues refused to match.

Instead, the former Premier League champions are rumored to be prepared to pay €8m to activate Sarri's release clause and risk paying Conte £9m in compensation payments for terminating his contract early.

The fact that Carlo Ancelotti has been announced as the next Partenopei manager has paved the way for Sarri to take his talents to Stamford Bridge in London- pushing Conte out of the picture. Should Sarri be appointed at Chelsea, his first assignment will be to keep Hazard in London and ward off advances from other European giants and to convince Thibaut Courtois to continue playing in England- away from his children who are based out of Madrid.

Sarri may also be the perfect replacement for Conte at Chelsea because he has the experience in making the most out of the finances available to him- as he showed at Napoli. With a new stadium in the works, Chelsea have invested a large portion of the financial outlay available to them in the near future towards construction and development- restricting funds for transfers in the process.

In such a scenario, the best person to churn out results regardless is Maurizio Sarri- as he showed at Napoli. Sarri also has a proven track record of introducing and making the most out of the abilities of promising youngsters (Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne) and a penchant for getting the best players for the best price in the transfer market (Arkadiusz Milik). In fact, he often buy or builds academy players and can even ele

While his future is still up in the air and his next destination has been the subject of much hotly contested debate, expected a blockbuster announcement regarding Sarri's next assignment in the very near future.
