Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is giving his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Arsenal in the Europa League final next week, and as always there are some interesting quotes from the Italian.
After several links with jobs in Italy this week, the Chelsea boss was forced to respond to questions about his future at the club, and whether next week’s game in Baku could be his last game as Blues boss.
His response made it very clear that he was expecting to stay:
Sarri on last game for Chelsea with Juventus interest: "I have two years of contract here so I have had no contract with other club at the moment. I will speak to the club after the final to find out if they are happy with me." #CFC

Sarri on his future: "At the end of the season you discuss with the club, it is normal, every club is like this." #CFC

He doesn’t guarantee he will be back next season, but instead puts the ball in the club’s court by saying he’s waiting to hear how they rate his performance – and effectively if they will just sack him.
It all looks rather a tense standoff right now. If Juventus come in for him, Chelsea might let him go and cut their losses. So a lot of players and money is hinging on the Old Lady right now.
