Chelsea: Club Plan To Replace Maurizio Sarri With Zinedine Zidane

Maurizio Sarri's reign as Chelsea manager may be just about to end following claims that the club's hierarchies are ready to terminate his appointment. 

Since the Italian, 60, led Blues to their worst defeat in 28 year losing by 6-0 to Manchester City on Sunday at Etihad Stadium, he has been heavily criticised and Zinedine Zidane has reportedly been considered by the club as suitable replacement. 

Now that Blues have dropped to sixth in the Premier League following their defeat on Sunday, Sarri seemed to have fallen out of favour with the club's management which are more concerned with qualifying for the Champions League. 

Zidane, who during his reign at Real Madrid won three consecutive Champions League titles, one La Liga title and two UEFA Super League titles, is believed to one capable of bringing back the glorious day for Chelsea. 

However, Chelsea are not the only club showing interest in the former France international, Manchester United have also been reported to be considering hiring him as their permanent manger by summer. 

But, as it is presently, the United interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in pole position in the club's favourites for leading the team to 11 unbeaten run in all competitions - the longest ever record by a manager on debut at the club. 

By the way, it is not certain if the Zidane will be available to take the job following a statement from his agent Alain Migliaccio, who last year revealed that it was his client's desire to take a sabbatical year and might not ready to "dive back" mid-way.
