Maurizio Sarri set for Chelsea exit imminently

Maurizio Sarri is set to leave Chelsea after just one season

Chelsea's problems seem to be multiplying by the second. Following the imposition of a transfer ban and the subsequent departure of Eden Hazard, Chelsea have now found themselves in a fix. They will have to go looking for a new manager now that Maurizio Sarri is all set to join Juventus.

It is being claimed in Italy that Sarri will be allowed to leave Chelsea after taking over just last summer. The Italian manager won the Europa League with Chelsea after defeating Arsenal in the final. He also helped them secure Champions League qualification after finishing 3rd on the Premier League table.

Massimiliano Allegri left his job as the Juventus manager and several managers including Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte were being linked with the Old Lady. However, now the former Napoli manager is all set to take over in Turin.
