Chelsea fired manager Antonio Conte – Maurizio Sarri ready to take over.
The Italian led Chelsea to the Premier League title barely a year ago in his first season at Stamford Bridge.
But the last 12 months have not been as successful, with Chelsea missing out on the top four.
Conte seemed certain to leave this summer and his release was confirmed, despite the Blues' 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Wembley in the FA Cup final in his last match in charge.
The long-term future of Conte has been in doubt for months after appearing to publicly criticize the club's transfer policy.
He signed a new agreement last summer, obtaining a significant salary increase, but did not extend his term beyond last summer.
