The Chelsea fans here in the Transfer Tavern aren’t the happiest bunch right now. Indeed, the Blues in our bar are still rather down in the dumps about the nature of their Premier League campaign, despite winning the FA Cup against bitter old Jose Mourinho.
Though Antonio Conte endeared himself all over West London last year, the manner in which the title defence has gone this time around has seriously soured the feeling toward him. That’s why reports (as per the Daily Mail) suggesting Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri had emerged as the front-runner for the Chelsea job have gone down a storm online.
The Italian has made his current charges one of the most exciting in European football and, while he was unable to halt Juventus’ title win, has seen his stock seriously rise. So, having said that, here’s a look at the reaction online.
Welcome to @ChelseaFC #Sarri
