Maurizio Sarri

Maurizio Sarri (born 10 January 1959) is an Italian professional football coach who is manager of Premier League club Chelsea.

Early life
Sarri was born on 10 January 1959, in the Bagnoli district of Naples. His father, born and raised in Tuscany, moved back to the region with his family following the end of his tenure as a construction worker for Italsider, a steel company. Raised in the Figline Valdarno neighborhood, Sarri divided his time as an amateur footballer and banker for Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena in Tuscany. His work as a banker saw him travel Europe, working in London, Zürich and Luxembourg. Sarri would work in the bank in the morning, and trained and played in games in the afternoon and evening. In 1999, aged 40, Sarri transitioned into coaching, following the same schedule he adhered to for his entire work life. After gaining employment with minor side Tegoleto, he decided to quit his job to devote himself exclusively to his coaching career.
