Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is delighted to get a chance to face off against the best managers in the Premier League.

Sarri joins a league that is stacked with managerial talent, including the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp.

He will be hoping to get the better of these great managers with Chelsea in the coming year.

"In the Premier League there are all the most important coaches in Europe, maybe in the world," he said in an interview with the Chelsea official app "The 5th Stand."

"For me it will be very exciting to play against Guardiola, Pochettino, Mourinho, Klopp and the others.

"I am here for football. I am here for Chelsea. I want to play at Stamford Bridge. For me it's a dream. London is a wonderful city, but I'm here for Chelsea."
