David Luiz has aimed a thinly-veiled dig at former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte by talking up the “great philosophy and amazing spirit” under “great manager” Maurizio Sarri.
It appeared at one stage last season as though the Brazilian defender’s days at Stamford Bridge may be numbered.
He has admitted as much, with a strained relationship with former Blues boss Conte reaching breaking point during a lengthy injury struggle.
Luiz has, however, come back into favour under Sarri following the Italian’s summer arrival, with the 31-year-old enjoying his football again in west London.
