Maurizio Sarri is reportedly set to meet former Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis in London about the possibility of taking over at AC Milan.
Sarri has endured a difficult season at Chelsea, with both the team’s results and fan opinion turning against him.
However, he may well finish his debut campaign with a third-place finish and the Europa League trophy.
You’d think that would be enough to earn him a second season in charge.
However, in the event that Roman Abramovich deems him unworthy of overseeing a second season, Sarri has a contingency plan.
According to Sport Mediaset, AC Milan are seriously interested in poaching Sarri from Chelsea and appointing him as manager.
The report claims that club director Ivan Gazidis, formerly of Arsenal, will meet Sarri in London to discuss a potential move.
The authenticity of this information is unclear, but if Sarri were to hold such meetings, it would say plenty about his job security.
The outcome of the Europa League final in Baku may well prove decisive. We’ll just have to wait and see.
