Chelsea hero Nevin: Fans not devastated about Sarri

Chelsea hero Pat Nevin says supporters will not be devastated about Maurizio Sarri leaving the club.

The Italian joined Juventus after only a season at Stamford Bridge.

"I don't think they are absolutely devastated," he said. "It is one of those ones where some people wanted him to stay and some wanted him to go. I am one of the ones who would have been delighted had he stayed.

"However, great Chelsea managers come along like 42 busses every two minutes - there will be another one. He has gone. He has done a brilliant job and probably would have done even better next season.

"In the current situation it doesn't matter who is manager because you are not going to catch Manchester City or Liverpool at the moment. Top four? That would be enough but even that is a big, big call without Eden Hazard."
