Chelsea news: Jorginho sends warning to Maurizio Sarri over Juventus job

Chelsea star Jorginho has warned Maurizio Sarri that he could 'betray' Napoli fans by taking the Juventus job this summer.

Reports claim that Sarri is set to leave Chelsea after 11 months in charge of the club, with Juventus agreeing to buy the final year of the Italian's £ 5million deal.

It is understood that they have been identified as having a 60 year-old to three-year contract.

Jorginho – who followed Sarri to Stamford Bridge last summer – would 'hate' to see Sarri at Juventus next season and may be seen as a 'betrayal' by Napoli fans.

'He did a good job for Chelsea,' the midfielder said at a press conference ahead of Italy's Euro 2020 qualifier against Greece.

'There was some criticism, but ultimately we finished third, won a cup and lost another in a final.

'I think it was a great season, and I'd hate to see him go. The Napoli fans still have it in their hearts, it's normal that they can get angry.

'They're pbadionate, they can give you everything. They could treat it as a betrayal, they're like that. We'll see what happens. '

Jorginho is confident that he's proven the doubters wrong after his criticism at the start of his Chelsea career.

'The criticism was probably because of football culture in England. People were not used to seeing the front of the defense, 'the train Napoli star added.

'I read the game more and have less physical presence. For the fans, it was all very different and then they blamed me when the results were not coming.

But I proved that they were wrong about me. In the Premier League, the intensity is much higher and the teams are not afraid to attack.

'This is why I've had to defend much more than I did in Italy. The games are more open. In Serie A this mentality is missing, some of the teams are already beaten and never believe in victory.

'This is a reason why the big Italian teams find it difficult in the Champions League.

'As far as I'm concerned, I've worked with players of a certain level, who have let me grow.'
