Maurizio Sarri Payoff Revealed as Chelsea Boss Fights to Save Job Ahead of Carabao Cup Final

Maurizio Sarri would reportedly be cheaper to sack than any other Chelsea manager during the Roman Abramovich era, with the club only needing to pay £5m to get rid of the Italian.

Chelsea have lost four of their last eight games in all competitions, bringing enormous pressure on Sarri just seven months after he was appointed to replace the dismissed Antonio Conte.

Speculation is rife that the club hierarchy is considering his future. But if Chelsea really are to prematurely get rid of Sarri, The Sun declares that the payoff would be 'just' £5m, compared to the eye watering £18m compensation for Jose Mourinho in 2007, and around £12m each for Luiz Felipe Scolari and Andre Villas Boas in 2009 and 2012 respectively.
