Maurizio Sarri 'unsure' how long he will be Chelsea manager but remains confident results will improve

Tony Mogan20 February 2019

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri admits he is unsure how long he will remain in charge at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues suffered their worst Premier League defeat in 29 years when they were thrashed 6-0 by Manchester City 10 days ago.

An FA Cup defeat to Manchester United on Monday saw pressure mount further with home fans in attendance at Stamford Bridge chanting ‘F*** Sarri-ball” and “You’re getting sacked in the morning” as their side were comfortably beaten.

Sarri has been granted more time to turn things around in west London insists he cannot afford to think about his own future.

"I have to think that I will be the manager of Chelsea for a long time, otherwise I cannot work," Sarri told a press conference on Wednesday.

"I am not sure (if I will be here for a long time), but I have to think this. I have to work and I want to work with a long-range target.

"Of course in this moment it's very difficult to think we're able to win three, four matches in a row. As you know very well in football everything can change in one day.

"I think we need first of all a good performance, a good result and with more confidence we are able to do anything."
