There is no doubt that some Chelsea supporters will be glad to see Maurizio Sarri leave the club this summer.

The Italian, who is expected to succeed Massimiliano Allegri as Juventus manager (Sky Sports), has failed to get all of the Stamford Bridge faithful to buy into his idea of football despite the fact that it has guided the Blues to the Europa League and third place in the Premier League. Well, that and Eden Hazard.

The Belgian, in what looked to be his last season at the west London club, was in incredible form and really carried his team at times.

Nevertheless, Sarri still deserves some credit for what Chelsea were able to achieve in the recently concluded season and looked to have them on the right path going into the next campaign.

Against Arsenal in the Europa League final, the Blues were brilliant, finally showing what can only be described as Sarri-ball.

“I am starting to feel like this Chelsea team is mine,” were the words of Sarri after the triumph in Baku (Daily Express).

Considering that, losing Sarri now would be disastrous for Chelsea. Likely to lose the foundation the 60-year-old started to build and the ideas he brought, it will be back to square one for the Blues, putting them another season behind Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

In Chelsea’s defence, it does seem like Sarri is pushing for an exit rather than being forced out. But with the club not exactly fighting to keep hold of their man in the dugout and clearly open to his departure, once again, they have essentially hit the reset button.
