Chelsea have discovered that Sarri, who had been the favourite to get the job, had a homophobic row with Roberto Mancini during a Coppa Italia match last campaign.
At the time, a furious Mancini said: “The confrontation on the touchline? You have to ask Sarri about that.
“He is a racist. People like him do not belong in football. He used racist words.
“I stood up to ask about the five minutes being added on and Sarri shouted ‘poof’ and ‘******’ at me.
“I would be proud to be that if he is what’s considered a man.”
Sarri, who left Napoli last week, was fined €20,000 and banned for two Coppa Italia matches at the time.
“I was just irritable … I was not discriminating against anyone,” Sarri said following the incident. “If I did indeed use those words, then I apologise to the gay community.”
There was a striker called Fred who played for...Lyon, maybe? This isn't him. This is the new and improved all-action central midfielder Fred and he must be good because they're shelling out £50m+ on him, and when has an expensive signing ever not worked out at Man United
He was a big money signing himself, let's not forget. But yes I agree as a plan B he's good. I just wouldn't want him starting all the time, particularly in midfield.
