Chelsea players to decide Sarri future

Chelsea's players will have their say on Maurizio Sarri.

The Daily Mail reports that Maurizio Sarri's future at Chelsea depends on discussions with the board and the first team squad. The club will speak to senior players before making a decision on what to do with Sarri, with some players concerned over the Italian's training methods. There is also disquiet over the treatment of Gary Cahill, who was largely frozen out over the course of the season despite being captain. 

***Sarri's treatment of Cahill did appear to go too far towards clinical unfairness rather than football reasons, and boredom in training could lead the players to lose interest in playing for him. However, Sarri has delivered third place with less funding than the two sides above him, and he has shown at Napoli that his methods can be effective. More importantly though, this would give Chelsea players yet another chance to throw a strop to change the manager.
