Chelsea have sacked Italian Antonio Conte as their manager after finally reaching a £9million agreement to terminate his contract.
The club have been keen to get rid of the Italian for a considerable amount of time and now have plans in place for Maurizio Sarri to come in as his replacement with Stamford Bridge icon Gianfranco Zola expected to be his No 2.
Conte left his position at Chelsea on Thursday morning and said his goodbyes to the players and staff at the club’s Cobham training ground.
He won the Premier League in his first season before winning the FA Cup last season after defeating Manchester United in the final.
