West Ham will be on alert after what former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri said in an interview with The Sun.
The Italian regrets his decision to walk away from English football in 2019 after just one season in charge of Chelsea, before going on to win Serie A with Juventus.
The 65-year-old won the Europa League and guided the Blues to a top-four finish and a Carabao Cup final, but walked away due to the uncertainty over Roman Abramovich’s future.
The Sun mention the Hammers as a potential destination for Sarri and the former Lazio, Napoli and Juventus man hinted that he would like to return to England in the interview, saying: “I wanted to leave Chelsea – but only because of a particular situation. Not because of England.
“England is the top level for players, for teams, for clubs, for stadiums, for fans. For everything. So I’d like to come back.
“If I had a team and had the opportunity to be the coach of a team at the same level I think that I could do even better.”
Julen Lopetegui still on borrowed time at West Ham
Former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui has been under heavy pressure but relieved some of that with victory at Newcastle on Monday (25 November).
