Maurizio Sarri: Chelsea could SACK under pressure manager ‘over the international break’
Maurizio Sarri could be sacked by Chelsea before the Premier League returns at the end of the month, according to reports.Sarri enters the international break under real pressure after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Everton, which leaves the Blues three points outside the top four.1

Sarri’s side collapsed to another defeat on Sunday

They face a tough run-in over the final weeks of the season, especially as the west Londoners have to deal with Europa League football as well as their league commitments.It was previously expected Sarri would see out the season before any decision was made concerning his future, but the Express claim he may be axed during the international break.Roman Abramovich allegedly knows sacking Sarri throughout the international break gives Chelsea a couple of weeks to bring in a new coach before the Blues return to action, against Cardiff on March 31. The Stamford Bridge club had the chance to close the gap on the top four to just goal difference on Sunday, and they looked set to do just that after starting brilliantly against Everton.However, the Toffees turned it on in the second half to score twice, and Sarri was unable to explain Chelsea’s collapse after the half time break,The former Napoli manager said: “I don’t know and the players don’t know what happened in the second half.“I cannot explain it. We played the best first half in the season and we could have scored four or five and then suddenly we stopped playing.

“It’s very strange and we stopped to defend and counter attack.“We were in control of the match and we played very well so we needed continue but we didn’t defend at the start of the second half. We changed the system but it was the same.“The problem was mental on the pitch, so the system and the tactics are not important.“It wasn’t about motivation because we started very well. We have to play eight matches now and we have to fight for our possibilities.”
