Maurizio Sarri is seemingly on the brink of getting the sack at Chelsea after Monday night’s FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United.

Two headed first-half goals from Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba on Monday night saw the holders meekly surrender their crown at Stamford Bridge.

Boos and chants of ‘F*** Sarri-ball’ rang around the famous ground as the former Napoli boss cut a confused figure in the dugoutĀ as his team were torn to shreds.

After seemingly losing the fans and with pundits criticising his tactical expertise, it seems as though the writing is on the wall for Sarri.

Not exactly renowned for his sympathetic approach to hiring and firing managers, Blues owner Roman Abramovich must surely be considering getting rid of the 60-year-old after just seven months.
