Maurizio Sarri makes moves to become Chelsea manager as Napoli clear his path

Maurizio Sarri has moved to try to position himself at the front of the queue to replace Antonio Conte at Chelsea as Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed his departure from Napoli.

Chelsea have been deliberating over a number of potential candidates, including Luis Enrique, but Napoli manager Sarri is pushing hard to land the job ahead of the Spaniard.

Telegraph Sport can reveal he has employed an English-based intermediary to try to convince the Stamford Bridge club he is the right candidate to succeed head coach Conte, who is expected to be sacked.

And there are other moves behind the scenes aimed at making a Chelsea move for Sarri as smooth as possible.

Carlo Ancelotti has agreed to take over at Napoli, whose president De Laurentiis effectively announced Sarri's departure with a message posted on Twitter that read: "I'd like to thank Maurizio Sarri for his valuable contribution to the Napoli cause. He brought joy and prestige to Naples and Napoli fans all over the world with an entertaining brand of football that drew praise from all quarters. Well done, Maurizio."

Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg have offered Sarri a £5.2million-a-year contract and want an answer by the weekend, but Sarri is waiting to see if Chelsea make a move.

Sources in Italy claim that talks have taken place aimed at convincing Napoli to allow Sarri, whose contract contained a £7m release clause, join Chelsea for free if they let David Luiz to move in the opposite direction.

Luiz fell out of favour under Conte and also suffered recurring knee injury problems this season. He has one year remaining on his contract and, aged 31, is yet to hold talks over an extension.

Finding a buyer for Luiz may well be attractive to Chelsea, who paid £34m to re-sign the Brazilian from Paris Saint-Germain in 2016. His value has dropped significantly over recent months and there are major concerns over his ability to play regularly in the future.

There are also suggestions that Willian would support the appointment of Sarri, who is viewed as an attacking coach.

Willian is another player who has grown unhappy under Conte and the winger is expected to ask to leave Chelsea if the former Juventus manager remains in his post.

But, despite interest from Manchester United, Willian would be prepared to stay at Stamford Bridge if Sarri came in.

Sarri, who speaks English, has not won any major trophies in his managerial career and has been involved in a number of controversial incidents.

In 2016, he was accused of being a homophobe by Roberto Mancini, who was in charge of Inter Milan at the time, and subsequently fined 20,000 Euros. And, this season, he had to apologise for sexist comments made to a female reporter.

Chelsea would no doubt want guarantees over the behaviour of Sarri, who is a chain smoker, before making any sort of firm offer to him.

Former Barcelona manager Enrique would be a far safer appointment, but the Spaniard will need to lower his wage demands.

Enrique had been the overwhelming favourite to succeed Conte, but Chelsea started to look elsewhere after finding out the 48-year-old would want to earn over £10m-a-year.

Conte has been left in the dark over his Chelsea future since winning the FA Cup on Saturday and returned to Italy for Andrea Pirlo’s tribute match.

As revealed by Telegraph Sport, he will consider taking a break from management if he is sacked and that could be expensive for Chelsea, who face a potential compensation bill of £9m.

Conte has seen the Italian national post go to Mancini and PSG appointed Thomas Tuchel, which means he could wait for another big European job to become available before jumping back into management.

Other than Sarri and Enrique, Chelsea had been interested in Mauricio Pochettino but the Argentine is expected to sign a new Tottenham Hotspur contract after holding positive talks with chairman Daniel Levy.

Chelsea will reflect and decide on Conte’s future soon. Meanwhile, the Blues will have a meeting with Maurizio Sarri tomorrow, according to @DiMarzio.

Maurizio Sarri increasingly hopeful he will land dream Chelsea job


Maurizio Sarri is growing increasingly hopeful that he will be granted his dream move to Chelsea. Sarri has put himself in pole position to succeed Antonio Conte as head coach at Stamford Bridge, should, as expected, the 48-year-old be sacked.

Having hired intermediaries with close links to Chelsea, Sarri is attempting to push the Blues into making a decision and is desperate to get the job.

He believes he is close to be offered a two-year contract with the option of a further 12 months, once Chelsea finalise Conte’s future.

Despite leading the club to FA Cup success last Saturday, Conte has been left in the dark over his future while Chelsea decide what to do.

Luis Enrique and Laurent Blanc have also been under consideration, but Sarri has emerged as the leading contender to take over from Conte in recent days.

Carlo Ancelotti has already taken over at Napoli and there are suggestions the Italian club may be prepared to waive Sarri’s £7million release clause if David Luiz is allowed to move to the Stadio San Paolo.

Sources close to Chelsea believe that the events of the past couple of days only confirm that moves are now being made to clear the path for Sarri’s appointment.

Chelsea closer to recruiting Maurizio Sarri – and Gianfranco Zola too
• Sarri increasingly confident deal can be reached with Napoli
• Zola likely to join the head coach at Stamford Bridge



Maurizio Sarri is growing increasingly confident agreement will be reached between Chelsea and Napoli to smooth his appointment as head coach at Stamford Bridge, with the Italian likely to be joined by his compatriot Gianfranco Zola in some capacity at the club.

Chelsea’s managerial situation has effectively been in limbo for almost a month, with Napoli having opted against releasing Sarri from his contract despite appointing Carlo Ancelotti as his successor, and Antonio Conte, the incumbent at the Premier League club, in the dark over his future.

A £7m buyout clause in Sarri’s contract has expired, with the Napoli president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, to negotiate the terms of his manager’s release with any prospective employer.

De Laurentiis has indicated publicly a willingness to enter into talks with Sarri’s suitors, with suggestions in Italy he would be prepared to drop his compensation demand – previously considered prohibitive – to closer to £3.5m. That could still be considered too much by Chelsea, who had hoped Sarri’s lawyers might secure the 59-year-old’s release, but it is understood there is optimism on all sides that an agreement of sorts can be reached.

“If [Chelsea open talks] I would sit politely and listen, reflect and then give the response that was best for Napoli,” De Laurentiis told Corriere dello Sport. “I want to make one thing clear: this is not a club to be p illaged, this is not a club to be underestimated. I am here to discuss and have already said that, if called, I would be reasonable.”

Chelsea will have to pay Conte up to £9m in compensation to cover the last year of his contract, as well as pay-offs for members of his backroom staff, when they formally dismiss their head coach of two years. There had been some hope the Italian might secure another job, with the position at Real Madrid having been touted, and achieve a mutual agreement over his departure, but it seems more likely now that he will take a sabbatical and collect his pay-off.
