# Maurizio Sarri named as the eighth best manager in the world

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has been named as the eighth best manager in world football by [FourFourTwo](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/fourfourtwos-50-best-football-managers-world-2018).

The Blues boss is listed behind Pep Guardiola, Zinedine Zidane, Diego Simeone, Max Allegri, Jurgen Klopp Didier Deschamps and Mauricio Pochettino and Maurizio Sarri.

Despite having not yet won a major trophy as a manager, Sarri’s stock has continued to rise and he earned a lot of praise for how Napoli performed last season.

The 59-year-old has yet to taste defeat as Chelsea manager too, and his side look like realistic challengers for the Premier League title.

FourFourTwo said of Sarri:

> There’s no denying that for the past few seasons he has been a revelation, transforming Napoli into one of Europe’s most beloved sides. Their intricate passing and speedy interplay – an approach labelled ‘*Sarrismo*’ on the peninsula – was so breathtaking that Chelsea swooped this summer.

Sarri will be keen to finally win a trophy with the Blues this season as he looks to make an immediate impact as Chelsea manager.
