Maurizio Sarri set to be named Chelsea boss

Chelsea are set to appoint Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri as first team-manager and will bring in four key players in the process, according to Football London.

Antonio Conte is set to depart the club after falling out with those above him despite winning two trophies in his first two seasons.

Sarri led Napoli to 2nd place in Serie A last season, but the club are yet to pay his buy out clause of  €8m which expired last week.

Chelsea were at times frustrating to watch last term and were always going to depart with their first team boss.

Real Madrid are keen to hire Conte after they lost Zinedine Zidane who decided to leave the club after winning the Champions League three years in succession.

Piotr Zielinski, Gonzalo Higuain, Elseid Hysaj and Kalidou Koulibaly are the four players which Sarri is looking to bring to the West London club in a transfer shake up this summer.
