#2 Maurizio Sarri

Maurizio Sarri won high praise for his work with Napoli when he guided the Pertenopei to a second-place finish in the 2017-18 Serie A race, pushing Juventus all the way before succumbing on the penultimate matchday of the season.
It was on the backdrop of his work at the Estadio San Paolo that he was announced as Antonio Conte’s replacement at Chelsea, but despite starting the season strongly, the 60-year-old lost steam midway through the campaign, facing criticism for his predictable tactics, as well as his wrong deployment of N’golo Kante and distrust of Callum Hudson Odoi.
Things got to a head such that fans turned against Sarri, with chants of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ becoming a mainstay at Stamford Bridge every time he was about to make a substitution.
Indeed, Chelsea barely made it into the top four this season, being beneficiaries of late collapses by Manchester United and Arsenal, while harrowing losses to Manchester City and Bournemouth did little to help Sarri’s claim.
Chelsea have a notorious history of rapid firing and hiring of managers and there are already reports emanating that the club is ready to fire Sarri at the end of the season and replace him with Stamford Bridge legend and current Derby manager Frank Lampard which could clear the way for a return to his native Italy.
