Maurizio Sarri laughed off any speculation about his future after watching his side beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on Wednesday.
The Italian’s decision to drop goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was vindicated by the win over their London rivals which strengthens his position as head coach.
Heavy defeats to Bournemouth and Arsenal, coupled with the Blues fans’ vitriolic abuse of Sarri’s methods, put the 60-year-old in a precarious predicament prior to Sunday’s Carabao Cup final with Manchester City.
The 4-3 penalty shootout loss was overshadowed by Kepa’s refusal to be substituted, resulting in the world’s most expensive goalkeeper dropping to the bench in Wednesday’s win over Tottenham.
And when asked by The Sun’s Andy Dillon about his future, Sarri simply replied: “How is your future? Is the Sun happy with you or not?”
Despite all the doubts surrounding the former Napoli man, it is clear to see he has not lost his sense of humour.
The result leaves Chelsea in sixth in the league, two points off Manchester United but with a game in hand.
