A former banker who does not believe that he is coaching a football team deserves the nickname "work", Maurizio Sarri, who should take over from Antonio Conte sacked at Chelsea manager, is certainly not the norm.
The 59-year-old man – who would become the ninth full-time manager of Roman Abramovich during his 15 years as an owner – could not be more different in terms of Italian Conte context
He may not have a trophy in his name, but he turned Napoli into title contenders.
They finished second twice and third on the other occasion behind Juventus, last season becoming the first club to However, Sarri showed a desire to be unorthodox and break the mold.
His family were workers – his father a construction worker – but he became an international banker.
For 20 years, he worked for Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, who saw him based in several different countries, working for lower league and non-league clubs.
His mastery of English will serve him to communicate with the players from the beginning, unlike Conte who could
However, despite his high-flying banking career, he did not forget his roots – a grandfather fought for supporters of the Second World War against the Germans – and he is enraged when he hears hyperbole attached to football.
"When I'm going to run a training session, I never tell my family," I'm going to work, "he told the Avvenire newspaper.
" I come from a family of workers, and if I hear someone talk of "sacrifices" in football, I get angry.

That does not mean that Sarri is a gentle soul who keeps his emotions under control, because there were several provocations. The coach of the time, Roberto Mancini, accused Sarri of homophobia while he would have called him "faggott" during a match against Italy ( 19,659,003).

This kind of language will put him in hot water with the authorities, but another immediate problem is waiting: how will he pass the strict anti-smoking policies?
There is a debate about the number of cigarettes that he smokes each day – some say 60 while the Belgian Napoli striker, Dries Mertens, felt that he thought that it was a good thing. 39, was no more than five packs a day. The German RB Leipzig, who built a special section for smokers in Napoli's locker room last season, played in a Europa League match.
But if he is accommodating on the ground, he will decide if his hopes shine or rise in smoke.
