Chelsea have announced Maurizio Sarri as it's new Head Coach. He replaces fellow Italian, Antonio Conte who was relieved of his appointment on Friday after two years in West London.
The 59 year old ex Napoli manager has signed a three year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Without a trophy as a manager, his appointment continues the conveyor belt of managerial changes at Stamford Bridge since Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003. Since that time, it has had 13 permanent managers and two interim coaches.
During his three year stay at Naples, he guided Napoli to two second place finishes and a three place position, including a record points haul for a team that failed to win the league last season.
He was still on the books of Napoli, in spite of Carlo Ancelotti's appointment as his replacement. Which meant Chelsea had to reach an agreement with Napoli over the two years that was left of his contract.
