The Italian gaffer succeeded Antonio Conte at the helm in August but his debut season has seen the Blues manage contrasting results in the league
Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has lamented the lack of leadership in Maurizio Sarri's 'fantastic' squad.
The Blues' hopes of securing a place in the top four were dealt a huge blow on Sunday after succumbing to a 6-0 loss to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The defeat saw them drop to sixth in the Premier League with a point behind fourth-placed Manchester United, and has left Sarri worried about his side's inconsistency.
