New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri wants his favourite Italian dishes shipped to London.

The Sun says Sarri began work as the new boss at Stamford Bridge this week after succeeding Antonio Conte.

But though London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities on the planet with a large Italian community, the 59-year-old fears missing out on his home comforts.

The former Napoli manager is not a fan of English food and clearly has a lack of trust in finding his favourite delicacies.

So he has arranged for shipments of cheese, beef and even coffee to be packed up and sent to London for him to enjoy.

Sarri has already been tapping up new assistant Gianfranco Zola for advice on the best Italian restaurants and shops around West London.

One final shipment likely will be his trusted computer sent over to sit in his office at Chelsea's Cobham training facility.

He has been using the same machine since he was in charge of Empoli, taking it with him to Napoli, and it already houses some data and analysis on the Chelsea squad he is inheriting.
