Sacked Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri is due in London today.

The Daily Star says he is expected to fly into London on Monday to seal his appointment as Chelsea's new boss.

The former Napoli manager is due to sign a two-year deal, with an option for a third season.

Sarri, 59, has told the Blues he wants to live in Cobham, Surrey, close to the club's training ground.

He has earned a reputation as a workaholic coach.

Sarri's appointment spells the end of Antonio Conte's two-year reign as boss.

The Blues are trying to claw back a large chunk of Conte's £9m pay-off by claiming his mismanagement of Diego Costa's transfer last summer led to the Spain striker's price being devalued.
