The Blues boss has achieved his club's minimum aim this season but he is still being offered the chance to return to his home country
Roma are keen on signing Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, Goal has learned, after Antonio Conte turned down the offer of joining the struggling Serie A side to seek a side better equipped to challenge for major honours.
The former Blues tactician was ahead of the club's current boss on Roma's wishlist, but Giallorossi chiefs are keen on securing Sarri, whom they had hoped might be leaving London this summer after he was nearly sacked.
