Sarri felt more pressure during his stay in Naples

Maurizio Sarri said that he was not baffled by the pressure that prevailed after the fall of Chelsea, insisting that the stakes were greater in his previous job in Napoli.

The Blues lost their spot in the Champions League on Wednesday night after being beaten 4-0 at Bournemouth – their third consecutive loss to the outside.

Chelsea is a club renowned for its lack of patience with underperforming managers – they've had 12 permanent leaders in 15 years – but Sarri is not worried.

He said: "My job is still under threat and I love my job for it.I thrive under the pressure.

Maurizio Sarri admits he did not intend to take over as Chelsea's head coach would prove so difficult.

"I came from Naples and they were in the Champions League for the third time in a row, the level here is very high, but the level was not so low.

"I think there was more pressure in Naples – Naples is the only city in Italy with only one team, so the fan pressure is really huge.

"It's not my problem I want to stay the same man If I'm a dreamer I'm a dreamer If I'm having fun with my football I want to play my football If I think that the organization of the team is everything, I can not change my mind. "

After Chelsea's defeat at Vitality Stadium, Sarri once again admitted that he was perhaps unable to motivate the players he had inherited after arriving this summer.

The 60-year-old said it was difficult for him to make adjustments to the training field because of the intense nature of the Chelsea games schedule.

"It's very difficult to train here. [in England]. You start playing every three days in August. In five months, there is only one week left without a match in the week, "said Sarri.

"So it's very difficult to improve the individual players and the team, we try to change something but we have little time.

"We are now working on the last 30 meters [the attack]but the weather is very small. "
