The Italian tactician has also received the backing of Germany star Antonio Rudiger, who believes Sarri needs more support from Chelsea after reshaping the cub’s playing style.

“I think everyone has adapted to new things – also the coach,” said Rudiger.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Zinedine Zidane is unsure if he will replace Maurizio Sarri as Chelsea boss with Serie A champions Juventus keen on offering him a deal– and a return to the Italian topflight as manager.

According to Metro report citing The Sun, Blues Italian boss Sarri extended his stay at Stamford Bridge after Wednesday’s win over Tottenham in the Premier League, but there are doubts surrounding his capabilities to manage the club going forward.

At the last count, the west London dwellers suffered their heaviest defeat in the English topflight under the Italian, and lost the Carabao Cup final to Man City before returning to winning ways against Spurs.
