Chelsea are set to announce the appointment of Maurizio Sarri as their manager next week.
As per Daily Mail, the move is close to completion and the Italian will earn around £5.6m-a-year (£110k-a-week) at Stamford Bridge. The 59-year-old is set to pen a three-year contract with the Blues on Monday.
Chelsea are yet to announce the sacking to Antonio Conte because of issues surrounding his compensation package but that should be sorted soon.
The Blues had a season to forget last year as they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
