“He wished he would return to Chelsea” – Fan claims ex-Chelsea boss admits he wants to return to Stamford Bridge
A Chelsea fan has claimed that former Blues boss Maurizio Sarri admits he wants to return to the Premier League giants.Sarri is currently in charge of Serie A side Lazio after leaving Stamford Bridge back in 2019.
The Italian tactician spent just under a year with the west Londoners from July 2018 to June 2019, winning the Europa League with 40 wins in 63 games across competitions.
Chelsea fan nicknamed Shargi recently met up with Sarri and claims that the former Juventus boss wants to return to Stamford Bridge. He wrote on X:
“Do you know, London Pride fans, that when I told him that we thank you for the Europa League championship, he said that he wished he would return to Chelsea, by God.”
Sarri has just over a year left on his contract with Lazio who sit sixth in the Serie A table. A potential return to the Premier League with the west London giants isn’t beyond the realms of possibility.
Mauricio Pochettino is currently in charge of Chelsea but they have endured a topsy-turvy season. His side sit ninth in the league, nine points off the top four after 21 games.
There has been no suggestion that the Blues’ hierarchy are considering parting ways with Pochettino. The Argentine coach also has just over a year left on his contract and is set to continue his rebuild of the squad.
