Maurizio Sarri has reached an agreement with Juventus to become the Serie A champions’ next head coach and has requested Chelsea release him from his contract to join the Bianconeri, as per reports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fali Ramadani, Sarri’s agent, met with Chelsea management Friday to discuss his client’s future with the club as a move to Turin draws closer and closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 60-year-old Sarri intended to wait until the end of the season, and specifically the Europa League final, to consider the subject of what came next in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the Chelsea boss has received an offer from Juventus that would pay him \u20ac7 million (\u00a36m\/$8m) to succeed Massimiliano Allegri, who had coached the Bianconeri to five straight league titles, at the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramadani relayed news of that offer to Chelsea, as well as Sarri’s request to be allowed to join Juventus, though the Blues will take a few days before providing the manager with an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chelsea do not want to be unprepared for Sarri’s departure and are targeting a new manager before giving the green light for their current boss to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
