As expected, Antonio Conte left Chelsea and should be replaced by his Italian compatriot Maurizio Sarri.

. Premier League and FA Cup during his two seasons at Stamford Bridge, but his relationship with the club has collapsed last season.
"He scrambled with Diego Costa and sent him an infamous text saying that he had no future at the club and that he would have frozen David Luiz , Willian and the others had stayed, "says Law. "Chelsea also feared that Eden Hazard was not looking to leave if Conte scied his contract.
" This finally convinced the owner Roman Abramovich that he could not risk the team to implode and that the work was going on behind the scenes to ensure the replacement of Conte. "
Sarri, former manager of Napoli takes over, but his arrival could also have significant repercussions for the Blues in a turbulent summer.
His first job will be to chat with several of the biggest stars of Chelsea who have been linked to a move away from West London
