Claudio Ranieri believes Maurizio Sarri could succeed at Chelsea but warns he’ll “see little or nothing” of Roman Abramovich.
The former Napoli Coach has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, after Carlo Ancelotti replaced him at the San Paolo.
“I was a bit surprised, I imagined Carlo abroad,” Ranieri, a former Chelsea manager, told Sky Italia.
Claudio Ranieri believes Maurizio Sarri could succeed at Chelsea but warns he’ll “see little or nothing” of Roman Abramovich.
The former Napoli Coach has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, after Carlo Ancelotti replaced him at the San Paolo.
“I was a bit surprised, I imagined Carlo abroad,” Ranieri, a former Chelsea manager, told Sky Italia.
“I have to congratulate De Laurentiis who has pulled off a big coup, because he’s brought the most decorated Italian coach, who has won so much abroad, to Napoli.
“Sarri to Chelsea? It depends what Maurizio is like. He’ll see little or nothing of the President. He’ll have to work hard, and that’s not something he lacks.
“Sarri has done well at every level, including Empoli where people said he wasn’t ready for big teams.
“Now they know him all over Europe and I’m sure he can take his football and his philosophy anywhere.”
