Maurizio Sarri is reportedly keen to become the new manager of Juventus

I think Sarri will go to Juventus, so the new manager will be massive. They cant get this one wrong.Either they bring through their young players or they hope for the best and the transfer ban gets frozen so they can a bit of money.They could try to go for Erik ten Hag at Ajax. His English is perfect and Chelsea have got this amazing academy, with players like Mason Mount and others. You can always convince someone to leave, wherever they are. He might feel hes taken this Ajax to the best of his ability, especially considering De Jong and De Ligt are going to leave, and probably Ziyech and a couple more.Maybe he feels this is the right time to go somewhere else?Im not saying Chelsea WILL go for him or that he will say yes, but if thats the direction you want to take, theres no better man than Erik ten Hag to get all those young players through.
