Maurizio Sarri will meet today with Chelsea leaders to talk about his future at the club as well as the incident with Kepa Arrizabalagan, who rejected the coach’s orders to replace him.
The Italian coach is under pressure to rescue his position as Chelsea coach after defeat in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.
It is believed he is very close to his dismissal, and his career may end after the match that takes place tomorrow, against the city’s rivals, Tottenham, if the “Blue” fail to secure victory.
Moreover, Kepa raised doubts about Sarri’s authority at the club when he refused to be replaced at the end of the extra Sunday’s final. Willy Caballero was waiting for the field to enter the game, but he was also forced to sit on the bench for penalty shootouts.
Kepa failed to defend Sergio Aguero’s foul shot and Manchester City won the Carabao Cup title, winning 4: 3 in the penalty shootout, while regular time ended with 0: 0.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was not in the stadium when this incident occurred, but executive director Bruce Buck was present.
