According to reports, Maurizio Sarri could be shown the exit door should he fail to secure a Champions League spot for the Blues.

Sarri’s future at Stamford Bridge is far from clear after a disappointing season with the club struggling to even qualify for the Europa League next season.

The Italian only moved to West London from Napoli last summer but his rigid style of play have won him few fans at the club.

And it seems likely that The Blues will call time on his stay in the capital sooner rather than later freeing him up for a return to his homeland.

Roma sacked Eusebio Di Francesco last month after they crashed out of the Champions League and have appointed Claudio Ranieri until the end of the season.

Chelsea have been drawn against Slavia Praha in the quarter-finals but that two-legged affair will not be easy with the Czech side dumping out Sevilla in the previous round.

And The Sun claim should Sarri fail to secure them a place in Europe’s elite competition, owner Roman Abramovich will be left with no choice but to show him the door.

The reports claim the club have already started looking at potential replacements with Derby boss Frank Lampard and Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo top of their list.
