Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is one game away from the sack, says fuming former Blue Craig Burley
Maurizio Sarri is out of his depth and will be sacked as Chelsea manager if the Blues lose Sundays EFL Cup final against Manchester City, believes former Blue Craig Burley.The ex-midfielder has told talkSPORT he is flabbergasted by the clubs decline and is certain the Italian is only one game away from being given the boot.Sarri is under the spotlight after a dreadful run of results for the Blues, who have conceded 12 goals without reply in defeats to Bournemouth, Manchester City and Manchester United.3

The coachs future is likely to be decided in the coming weeks, with the Blues facing three huge games against Malmo in the Europa League last 32, City in the EFL Cup final and Tottenham in the Premier League.Sarri has come under heavy fire for his stubbornness and apparent unwillingness to alter his first-XI, formation or Sarri-ball tactics despite it clearly not bringing in results.And Burley believes it will be his downfall.Im flabbergasted at how embarrassing this guy has become so quickly, the former Chelsea and Scotland midfielder said on The Sports Bar.His stubbornness is amazing. Theyre playing in the League Cup final against Manchester City after the walloping they took at the Etihad, but what way do you think hell set up his team? Exactly the same way!To still pitch out in a 4-3-3 with the same personnel every week is astounding to me, and so was the Davide Zappacosta substitution at the end of the game.Youre 2-0 down against Manchester United, you need a game changer and on the bench youve got an experienced international striker in Olivier Giroud and one of the hottest young talents in English football in Callum Hudson-Odoi.And by the way, since Chelsea told him not to go to Bayern Munich and the transfer window closed, Hudson-Odoi has played 19 minutes of football!That was an utter embarrassment and what it said to me is that Maurizio Sarri is out of his depth.3

Chelsea’s defeat at City was their worst in Premier League history

Asked if he will be sacked if Chelsea lose Sundays cup final, he added: Probably, and even more so if its a shellacking.A 2-0 defeat is bad, but if the United game had got messy and they lost by four or five goals, I think he might have been gone this morning.Hes one game away.Burley has also had his say on the managers in with a chance of replacing Sarri in the Stamford Bridge hotseat.Blues legend Frank Lampard and Zinedine Zidane have both been linked with the job, while fans appear to want former manager Jose Mourinho back in charge.But Burley is not convinced by any of those options and admits he doesnt know where the club will turn if Sarri is axed.3

Is Frank Lampard experienced enough for the Chelsea job? No, according to Craig Burley

Zidane cant speak English, so thats a problem straight away, he said.Frank Lampard has had six months at Derby County in the Championship for Gods sake and Jose Mourinho is never coming back there in 100 years, surely.I really dont know where theyre going to turn on this one. Honestly, if they get pummelled on Sunday, and they probably will, I dont know what way Abramovich is going to turn.
