The wheels on the Maurizio Sarri Express have certainly come off the rails. What seemed to be a dream hiring for Chelsea has turned into a nightmare sooner than many expected, and it has been nothing short of atrocious.
The man who is credited with creating the tactic known as Sarri-ball has found himself forced to answer questions about his flexibility, his rotation and his overall management, and he seems utterly incapable of passing the test.
There is, perhaps, an overwhelming sense of irony in all this, as Sarri's top-flight career only exists because of his willingness to change in the past.
