Report: Former Chelsea boss first name on the list to become Arsenal manager

As the season goes on and the pressures mount up, expect to hear more rumours of potential manager departures this season.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is one of those who’s futures are in doubt after a bad start to the season, and Italian publication Stadio Sport claim that he is close to getting sacked.

Chelsea insider reveals all the January and summer transfer information you need to hear – Full story HERE.

But perhaps even more interesting from our perspective is the name linked with replacing him – former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, as per the same report.

Sarri is without a club currently, but he is the first name on the list of Arsenal to replace Arteta.

This would be a surprising move if it did transpire, but you get a sense that Arteta will be given further chances to rescue his career as it stands. But in this business we have learned that you can never rule anything out, and it is certainly a brewing story worth keeping a close eye on.
