Maurizio Sarri has finally been announced as Chelsea‘s manager, replacing Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge.
Conte finally left the club on Friday after two tumultuous years in west London, during which he won the Premier League and the FA Cup.
Sarri left Napoli after three seasons in Serie A. Carlo Ancelotti, a former Chelsea manager, was appointed as his replacement earlier in May.
Sarri, 59, led Napoli to record tally of 91 points in Serie A last season but they still finished second to Juventus.
Outgoing boss Conte guided Chelsea to the Premier League title in his first season as manager but oversaw a woeful defence of their crown and eventually finished fifth in last season’s standings.
However he did guide Chelsea to FA Cup glory last season, beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final at Wembley.
