Udinese coach Luca Gotti admits he's proud of his time with Chelsea.

Gotti was part of Maurizio Sarri's staff as they won the Europa League three seasons ago.

"We started the season well," Gotti told Goal. "Winning the first five games in the league. And we finished well.

"My memories of Chelsea are fantastic."

Gotti will now prepare to face Sarri in Serie A after the former Blues boss took over at Lazio. Another former Chelsea head coach Jose Mourinho has also recently taken charge of Roma. Gotti lists our Europa League triumph as one of his best experiences.

"Our excellent run at the end of the season allowed us to return the club to the Champions League, and win the Europa League," Gotti added. "Which was a beautiful experience for me.

"But we did have a difficult period in the middle where we were dealing with a new league, a new country and new culture."
