Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says he is ‘very happy to stay’ in the Premier League, with the Italian poised for talks with the club’s hierarchy over his future following the Europa League final with Arsenal.
Sarri, 60, has two years remaining on his current deal at Stamford Bridge, but has been linked with a move to Juventus this summer with Massimiliano Allegri set to depart the club.

Maurizio Sarri says he is ‘very happy’ to remain at Chelsea
However, Sarri insists he is more than content to remain in west London, but wants assurances from the Chelsea board that he is the right man to lead the club forward.
He said: “I have two years of my contract here. I have no contract with other clubs.
“I have to speak with my club after the final. I want to know if they are happy with me.”
Sarri, who admitted to being flattered by the link with Juve, added: “I very much like the Premier League. At the moment it’s the most important championship in the world.

Sarri, 60, wants assurances over his future from club hierarchy at Stamford Bridge
“It’s very exciting to be here but now it’s time to think only about the final.”
When asked directly if he was happy to remain at Chelsea, he replied: “I’m very happy to stay in the Premier League, with Chelsea, one of the most important clubs in the Premier League.
“I’m very, very happy but we have to discuss the situation. It’s normal. You have to discuss things with the club. It’s like this.”
Elsewhere, Sarri refused to shed any light on whether the final with Arsenal in Baku on May 29 would be Eden Hazard’s last game for Chelsea.
