Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri, has hinted that he wants to stay in the Premier League, despite strong speculation linking him to the vacant Juventus job.
Juve are on the lookout for a new boss following the departure of Massimiliano Allegri, who announced his decision to step down earlier this month after winning five successive league titles.
Sarri, who finished as a runner-up in Serie A with Napoli in the 2017/2018 campaign, is rumoured to be high on the champions’ list of targets to succeed Allegri.
But the 60-year-old is a big fan of English football and is unsure whether he wants to move on after just a single season in the Premier League.
“For me, at the beginning, it was really difficult to understand my players and their mentality. But after a difficult January, in February they started to change, I think, or probably I changed – I don’t know.
“At this moment I love them. I have 22 wonderful men, wonderful players, so I’m really very happy with them. Of course, I have to consider the future. I have to consider that I love English football, I love the Premier League.
“I want to think only about the final. I have a contract with Chelsea for two years and so first of all I will speak with Chelsea, but this is not the moment.
“Now we have to think about the final because you know very well our feeling is that we deserve to win – we want to win.
“Today I need only to speak about the final and my players need only for me to speak about the final,” Sarri said ahead of the Europa League final.
