'I want Sarri to stay' - Chelsea urged to retain manager despite Juventus interest

Ex-Blues midfielder Gus Poyet has praised the Italian for a strong debut campaign in the Premier League and feels he deserves another year at the helm

Gus Poyet wants Chelsea to retain Maurizio Sarri's services but concedes that he may have already decided to return to Italy with Juventus.

The 60-year-old tactician was drafted in to replace Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge last summer, after three successful years in Serie A with Napoli.

The Italian guided the Blues to a third-placed Premier League finish and secured the first trophy of his managerial career in the form of the Europa League.
