Chelsea have hinted they are ready to offer Maurizio Sarri another season to prove he is the right man at Stamford Bridge going forward.

According to The Metro, the 60-year-old Italian, who replaced compatriot Antonio Conte at Chelsea last summer was under intense pressure last month after heavy defeats by Bournemouth and Manchester City in back-to-back away games.

Interestingly, moments before Chelsea’s 3-4 defeat to Man City via penalties during Wembley’s Carabao Cup final, report emerged that the former Napoli would be sent packing if Chelsea lost.

Days after the Blues are back to winning ways after emerging victorious in London derbies against Tottenham and Fulham.

And Sarri has revealed he will not be leaving Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign after receiving assurances from club chiefs after discussing new plans beyond the 2018-19 season.

“I feel the same as before, but happier because the results are positive,” Sarri was quoted as saying by Sky Italia.

“When everyone talked about my dismissal, I was talking with the club to plan the team for next season, so I was always relaxed,” he added.

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.

“You saw the way we played against Tottenham and Manchester City. It was different to the way we played in the first three months. Everyone needs to adapt, everyone needs to learn and it is good that it has happened in this moment,” 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.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
