Chelsea have announced manager Maurizio Sarri has left the club to take charge of Italian champions Juventus.
The Blues and Juventus have agreed a compensation package, understood to be in excess of £5 million, for Sarri, 60, who signed a three-year deal with Chelsea when appointed last summer.
“Maurizio Sarri is leaving Chelsea football Club to return to Italy and become manager of Juventus,” Chelsea announced on their official website.
“The two clubs have reached an agreement for the early termination of Sarri’s contract with Chelsea FC which had two years left to run and is ending at his request.”
