The former England midfielder ventured into management last summer with Derby County and has made an immediate impact, qualifying them for the EFL Championship playoffs.
Sarri, meanwhile, has been heavily linked with a return to Serie A, where he could take over the reins at Roma, Milan or even Juventus.
