Yesterday<!--On Saturday-->, English football club Chelsea FC announced
signing Maurizio Sarri as the club's new coach. The Italian coach has
signed a three-year contract with the London-based club.

59-year-old Sarri has spent thirteen years as a football coach, and most
recently he was at Italian club SSC Napoli. Sarri spent three seasons
with Napoli, guiding the Naples club to a second-place finish in the
Italian Serie A twice, and a third place finish once.

On signing the three-year contract with Chelsea, Sarri said, "I am very
happy to be coming to Chelsea and the Premier League. It is an exciting
new period in my career." The Italian went on to say, "I hope we can
provide some entertaining football for our fans, and that we will be
competing for trophies at the end of the season, which is what this club
deserves."

On Friday, Chelsea announced sacking Sarri's predecessor, Antonio Conte,
after two year's of service at Stamford Bridge. Conte led Chelsea to
Premier League title in his first season <!-- has spent two seasons, and
recently, for Mahrez's article, I mentioned Man City are defending
champions, implying the PL victory came one season before that, that is,
his first season --> and The FA Cup, last season.

In May, Napoli announced Carlo Ancelotti as Sarri's successor at the
Naples club. With Sarri's arrival at Chelsea, ''The Blues'' announced
signing Brazilian midfielder Jorginho from Napoli on a five-year
contract.

Since the takeover of Chelsea by Russian businessman Roman Abramovich in
2003, Chelsea has now had thirteen permanent managers.
