3 reasons why Chelsea must sack Maurizio Sarri

#1 His torrent of abuse towards the players has ruptured the chemistry

It's no secret that the players at Chelsea are egotistical and petulant, but with the ability that each of them possesses, it's vital that the manager keeps their chin up and ensures that they don't develop a sour attitude, or things could quickly unravel out on the pitch.

So what does Maurizio Sarri do? He finds any opportunity in press conferences to slate his players and point out their flaws. Sarri has said many things, but perhaps worst of all was his decision to say that Eden Hazard isn't a leader. Given that Hazard is the star player at Chelsea, is it really wise of Sarri to put him down like that?

The Belgium international has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, which could possibly go through in the summer, so wouldn't a manager want to praise and flatter their best player in order to get them to potentially stick around?

That's certainly not what Sarri has done here; if anything, he's ushering him out of the door.

Antonio Rudiger recently revealed that "no player on Earth" would be happy playing under Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea right now, which is a damning illustration of just how unsettled the dressing room is at Stamford Bridge at the moment.

The bottom line here is that Sarri can put in as much effort as he likes off the pitch, but ultimately, it's the players on the pitch that decide his future. And if he continues to humiliate them in press conferences, his tenure at Chelsea is bound to come to a swift end.
