Carlo Ancelotti holds Napoli talks as Maurizio Sarri edges closer to exit

Maurizio Sarri edges closer to the Napoli exit door as Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly held talks to become the new Napoli boss.

Antonio Conte is still Chelsea manager but Sarri has been rumoured to be taking over the Italian’s role for a while now.

Ex-Chelsea boss Ancelotti has famously managed in Serie A before as he won eight major trophies in eight years with AC Milan.

Ancelotti reporteldy met Napoli President Aurelio de Laurentiis in Milan this morning for talks as the Italian side prepare for life without Sarri.

Chelsea are seemingly going to replace Conte, despite  winning the Premier League and FA Cup whilst under his reign.

Failure to qualify for the Champions League this season seems to be the final nail in the coffin in terms of Conte’s future at the club, whilst rumours of dressing room unrest will do little to make the Chlesea board feel happier about potentially keeping him on for at least one more year.

matchday.
