Arsenal boss Emery: I've learned watching Sarri at Napoli and Chelsea

Arsenal boss Unai Emery says he's learned plenty from studying Chelsea counterpart Maurizio Sarri.

Even though it is Chelsea who have reached the final with Champions League football assured next season there are still doubts over the future of their manager Sarri.

The Italian is set to discuss his position with Blues owner Roman Abramovich after the final.

"Our life, the life of a coach, is difficult and tough for us," said Emery. "I appreciate Sarri a lot. He is a very good coach. When you are watching one of Chelsea's match you recognise him as the coach.

"You can see Sarri's identity. He created that at Napoli before here. This year they finished third in the Premier League and they are in this final. I see him and Chelsea as a good team, a good coach, a good season, a good way of playing.

"I learned from watching Sarri in Napoli and now Chelsea."
