Whilst Antonio Conte hasn’t officially been relieved of his duties, it seems a matter of time before the Italian is sacked, with Sarri taking over.
According to reports, the Blues will not only need to pay off Conte, but also give Napoli €5m in compensation.
Sarri was officially replaced as head coach by Carlo Ancelotti last month but was kept on by the club as they were not willing to let him leave without being adequately compensated, but it looks like an agreement has now been reached for him to secure a move to Chelsea.
Conte, despite winning the Premier League in his first season at Chelsea and the FA Cup in his second, looks to be on the way out after seemingly falling out with the board over transfer policy.
