David Luiz still has a big part to play at Chelsea, Maurizio Sarri has insisted.
The Brazilian defender’s future at Stamford Bridge had recently come under scrutiny, with a move away heavily touted by various reports.
However, it seems Sarri feels as though Luiz can still be a key player in his Chelsea squad, as he continues to construct what he perceives to be his strongest starting line-up.
Luiz’s relationship with former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was believed to be frosty to say the least, resulting in the defender seeing his first-team chances limited throughout last season.
However, the former PSG star has been given a clean slate by Sarri, who is clearly keen for Luiz to succeed at Chelsea.
As quoted by the Mirror, the former Napoli boss discussed Luiz’s current situation at Chelsea and insisted that the experienced defender has “a big future” with the Blues.
I don’t know about what happened in the past but now he has a good chance. We only have to carry on like we are doing now with him. David has a big future here. He will be useful for us but not just on the pitch. He is also very important in the dressing room. I very much enjoy his attitude when I am working with him.
