Chelsea told to ditch Italian job if Sarri is moved on after one season

Frank Leboeuf believes faith should be shown in the current coach, but would like to see someone better suited to English football in the role

Chelsea have been urged to ditch their penchant for Italian coaches if the decision is made to part with Maurizio Sarri, with Frank Leboeuf suggesting that a change in approach is required.

The Blues are enduring a testing 2018-19 campaign – their first with former Napoli manager Sarri at the helm.

A top-four finish and Europa League glory remains within reach, but the season could still fizzle out to nothing for a side that have already suffered defeat in the Carabao Cup final.
