Sarri has endured a difficult debut season in England with his football coming under-fire from Chelsea fans.

He told Sky Sports: “I don’t know how, when Leicester went for Brendan Rodgers, that someone at Chelsea didn’t ring him and say ‘just wait, just wait six months’ because I can’t see Sarri being there because the fans just aren’t having it.
