Italian professional football manager Maurizio Sarri has revealed that leaving Chelsea has been his biggest mistake, despite having good reasons to stay at the London club.
Sarri, who confessed in a chat with Sky Sport, said that there was a good foundation for him to continue as the coach of the club but he made a big mistake when he decided to leave.
He noted that after guiding Chelsea to win the Europa League, everything was going well with the project at the club but he wanted to return to Italy, which turned out to be an unfortunate decision.
“Leaving Chelsea has been my biggest mistake”.
“There was a good basis to stay there and continue at the club, I did a big mistake in that moment”.

“We won the Europa League, the project was great but I wanted to return in Italy, unfortunately,” Sarri told Sky Sport.
The coach, who became the oldest manager to ever win the Serie A in 2019 while coaching Juventus, also spoke about his failed move to become the manager of Sevilla.
He said; “I had contact with Sevilla but our plans were different, so talks have collapsed”.
“I want to return as soon as possible. It’s difficult now, I only have solutions from abroad but it’s difficult for me to accept that”.
