Italian giants Roma are reportedly hoping to have current Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri as their new head coach next season, according to the Express, cited by Sports Mole.
Sarri, who previously worked in Serie A with Napoli before arriving at Stamford Bridge last summer, has been under huge pressure with the Blues in recent months.
Despite a strong start to life as Chelsea boss, Sarri’s side have been extremely inconsistent since the turn of the year, which has only increased speculation over the Italian’s long-term future at the club.
Meanwhile, Roma recently sacked Eusebio Di Francesco as their head coach following their Champions League exit, bringing in former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri until the end of the season.
And according to reports, the Italian giants have made Sarri their number one target for the summer.
With Sarri’s position at Chelsea far from secure, Roma may well feel quietly confident over bringing the 60-year-old back to Italy, which would leave Chelsea searching for a 14th managerial appointment under owner Roman Abramovich.
