Chelsea have agreed a deal in principle for their Italian manager Maurizio Sarri to join Serie A club Juventus.
An agreement was reached late on Thursday evening after talks between senior officials. A deal could be completed as early as Friday.
It is understood a compensation fee in excess of £5m has been agreed.
Sarri arrived from Napoli in July 2018 and led the Blues to third place in the Premier League and won the Europa League in his one season in charge.

Happy to see him back for sure
Our greatest ever player imo
Think we are handing him a sheite position though
Thin squad, Haz gone and no transfer window available for us. Will force him to play youth which was his MO at Derby anyway

This is my point... it's a bit of a poisoned chalice. But hopefully the fans realise that and allow him a free hit this season if so. Not something Chelsea fans, or management, are known for though...

Probably too early for Lampard. Wouldn’t say he did a good job at Derby at all to be honest.
I think Sarri was treated very poorly. Yes maybe his subs or his football at times wasn’t the greatest but you have to give managers time to implement a style. He got Chelsea 3rd in the league, league cup final and won the Europa league. Bloody decent season for them if you ask me

He did well at Derby in that he was crucial in pipe lining some incredible loans in Wilson, Tomori and Mount
Three of their best players
I agree it wasn't plain sailing but he showed good adaptation when he needed to which got them to the play off final
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He did so great he took Derby from 6th to 6th and had some money to spend and brought in some good loan players

The loan players were only there because of him and Jody
And uncharitable to not point out he improved on the play off result
As insaidnask the Derby fans if you want. Did you watch the club much or particluarly know anything about Derby?

Yeah I watched you a fair few times actually. In fact watched a bit of championship football last season. Don’t think Derby were all that to be honest. The odd good game but very inconsistent. Don’t think you were that much better than season before and results also tell that. In fact you finished with less points and less goals than season before despite bringing in some good youngsters on loan

Derby are an erratic club tbh
I was a big fan of Rowett but the inconsistency was there under him. I actually think they both delivered results above what the squad should

Rowett also had 6 seasons of management on Frank too
