Chelsea considering to replace Sarri with Zidane after struggling at Chelsea so far this season.
Maurizio Sarri has been linked with a Chelsea exit after earning only 3 points from the last 4 Premier League games also failing to score an away goal in 2019.
The Blues’ poor run of form was highlighted in the latest clash at the Etihad Stadium as Chelsea were beaten 6-0 by Man City, the reigning Prem’s champions.
Following the defeated Maurizio Sarri claimed he’s ready for talks over his Chelsea future with the club’s chiefs also admitting his job is always at risk.
According to The Sun, a British tabloid newspaper, Chelsea ‘top brass’ want to replace the Italian with Zinedine Zidane by the end of the season as they believe the ex-Real Madrid coach will be able to bring the Blues back to top-4.
The 46-year-old, who quit the La Liga giants last summer after winning three Champions League titles in a row, is believed to return to management and could be attracted by an opportunity to work in English top flight.
Moreover, Chelsea could ‘encourage’ Eden Hazard to sign a new deal with the club by appointing the legendary Frenchman as the new manager at Stamford Bridge as the 28-year-old ‘idolises’ him, as per the report.
