Even though he has led the Blues back into the Champions League, to a Europa League Final and to the Carabao Cup Final, Sarri’s position is under threat.
After arriving from Napoli last summer, the Italian enjoyed a terrific start to life in the Premier League.

Lampard’s first season in management has seen him take Derby County to the Championship Play-Off final after a heroic effort by overturning a first leg deficit away from home against Leeds.
Despite his novice stature, the appointment of the 40-year-old as Chelsea boss would certainly sit well with fans.
But who else is in the frame to be the next Chelsea boss according to the bookmakers?
