Chelsea on Saturday, unveiled former Napoli boss, Maurizio Sarri, as their new head coach on a three-year deal.
Napoli’s president revealed Sarri was close to finalising a deal to take over at Chelsea on Wednesday, two days before Antonio Conte’s sacking was confirmed by the Premier League club.
Former Chelsea forward Gianfranco Zola will be appointed as his assistant, according to Sky in Italy.
“I am very happy to be coming to Chelsea and the Premier League. It is an exciting new period in my career.
“I look forward to starting work and meeting the players on Monday ahead of travelling to Australia, where I will be able to get to know the squad and begin our match action.
“I hope we can provide some entertaining football for our fans, and that we will be competing for trophies at the end of the season, which is what this club deserves,” Sarri said.
