It has been a turbulent first season in charge for Maurizio Sarri in England.

He has somewhat transformed the playing style, which is commendable after more than a decade at Chelsea with only the loosest of identities.

While he reached the League Cup final where his side pushed an outstanding Manchester City side extremely close.

A third-placed finish means he has reached the targets set by the club upon joining the Blues from Napoli.

But victory in Baku against Arsenal in the Europa League final is now crucial to appease a disgruntled fanbase not happy with his behaviour and some of his decisions.
