London's „Chelsea“ team is currently going through tough times. Therefore, a huge responsibility falls on the shoulders of the team's coach, Maurizio Sarri, who is in his sixties, writes lrytas.lt.
Rumors don't stop that the coach's seat is shaking, and his fate will be decided in the next month during very important matches.
Sunday was more than shameful for the „Chelsea“ team. The London club lost 0:6 to the „Manchester City“ team. It was the most shameful defeat of the London club since 1991.
Moreover, this defeat pushed the „Chelsea“ team to drop from fourth to sixth place in the English „Premier“ league table, and this position does not guarantee a spot in the next season's UEFA Champions League.
M.Sarri is being pushed out of his position just seven months after the start of his contract, even though it should last three years.
Now it is expected that the team will show the first signs of recovery in the UEFA Europa League knockouts starting on Thursday, where „Chelsea“ will compete against the „Malmo“ team. It is worth looking around Europe, as winning this league would be a guarantee of success with a guaranteed ticket to the next season's Champions League for the London team.
During the month, the „Chelsea“ team will have to play a number of important matches in England - against „Manchester United“, „Manchester City“, „Tottenham“. It is undeniable that these matches will also determine crucial points.
The decision about the coach's future should be made by the „Chelsea“ owner, Russian Roman Abramovich. Despite the fact that he has not attended his team's matches this season and spends most of his time in Russia and Israel.
New names are already being linked to „Chelsea“ club after unpleasant failures, including the team legend Frank Lampard, who is currently coaching the second-tier „Derby County“ team in England.
However, F.Lampard himself denies such rumors.
„Chelsea club has a coach that I respect and he is very good. I have my job at „Derby County“ and all my thoughts are there. I hope to see the London club returning to form and demonstrating excellent results,“ he stated.
