Premier League giants Chelsea have fired manager Maurizio Sarri with seven games to end the 2018/19 Premier League season and replaced him with Jose Mourinho.
Despite the Blues' win over Cardiff City in their last Premier League game on Sunday, March 31, the victory failed to save Maurizio Sarri from being fired at Stamford Bridge.
Sarri has been under serious pressure at Chelsea since the Blues' Premier League embarrassing defeat against Manchester City.
But many football fans believed the Blues' chiefs would wait till the end of the ongoing Premier League season before allowing the Italian to leave the club.
