Gianluca Di Marzio, the Italian transfer Guru, is reporting that Chelsea are going to sack Maurizio Sarri and replace him with Frank Lampard.
The insider says that Sarri is favourite to become the new Juventus manager, as they look to replace Max Allegri.
This just adds to similar rumours that have been circulating today, although his name carries some extra weight.
The fact that he’s willing to put his reputation on the line with such a straightforward assessment shows that he must believe he has it from a good source.
Then again, people are just citing this article on his website, where he mentions it in passing. That article wasn’t written by him – could it’s author just be digesting things that are being said in the media over here? It seems very possible.
Either way, this is the last rumour we need to have being leaked ahead of a massive game in Baku against Arsenal.
The fact that both Lampard and Sarri have this out in the open the week before both of their biggest games of the season is a real blow. We just don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, but distractions are not what we need, especially with this long break before the final.
Let’s hope it’s not affecting the players, or the coach.
