He'd be the 4th ex Chelsea manager Levy would have appointed and the other 3 have been abysmal.

I liken Managers to drivers and riders in motorsports.
Obviously you get the standouts, who will perform above what they’ve been given but normally it’s the basically the best equipment wins.
This is reductive in the extreme.
Poch’s Southampton was way better talent wise than the current Brighton team.
If it was all about Poch, Southampton would have fallen off a cliff the second he left - they didn’t.
OH YEA BABY.
It's gaining steam.
The Gazetta tends to know what is going on in Italy.
Ali G have said that to his knowledge this has no legs. But then you end up with which believable journalists that you believe in.
The Portuguese press were quicker with the Gedson loan than Ali G and Dan Kp were. And the Dutch press were way ahead of the English press on the Bergwijn move for another example. So we should probably not write it off completely.
No more ex Chelsea managers. Please.
He’d have to go to Newcastle for that.
Close enough
My skepticism would be that it seems like all the reporting on this is coming out of Italy which might suggest that it is being leaked by Sarri's camp to try and give him some publicity/leverage in other jobs.
It could also mean that the club doesn't want to discuss it because they still have Jose in place and that is why the English journalists aren't hearing anything, but Sarri makes very little sense for us as a club and doesn't seem like a great fit with Levy so I will still look at it with a very big grain of salt.
I don't think that Sarri should be written off because he was at Chelsea for a cup of coffee.
If we are going into a rebuild we could do worse than him to be honest. Yes, his Chelsea and Juve teams weren't the greatest. But if given time he could probably replicate something more in line with his Napoli. Which played good attacking, possession based football. Which seems to be what a lot of people want.
Would he be the greatest get? Probably not. Would he be the worst get? Also probably not. I think he would be fine if given a real chance. And we have a fair few players that fit his style.

Tottenham could meet with Sarri | Football Italia
According to Italian reports, Tottenham Hotspur have been targeting Maurizio Sarri for at least a month and he could meet with them next week. The coach is still under contract with Juventus, who fired him just under a year ago, despite winning the Serie A title.
His Chelsea team finished 3rd in the league, won the Europa League and lost the League cup final on penalties. I think he's one of the best options out there.I don't think that Sarri should be written off because he was at Chelsea for a cup of coffee.

And his boring Juventus side still won a Scudetto.
I get that for some there is heavy tribalism involved, even if subconsciously. But he was there for a year and if we are looking to rebuild we could do worse than Mr. Sarrismo.

He'd be a terrible appointment. He didn't command the respect of the Chelsea players, which is damning indictment of a manager.
Linked with Fat Frank next at this rate.
The Chelsea players don't look like they respect anyone tbf.
I like Sarri more than most but I think he’d be a terrible fit at Spurs, regardless of the veracity of the report.
Really? I actually think that he is more suited for a club like Spurs than he is for clubs like Juventus.
But I also really liked watching his Napoli team so I guess I have some inherent bias.
My ideal appointment is still Potter. Feels like a new Poch scenario to me.

All these shit ass managers being linked with us and I haven’t seen one single report that we’re considering Ten Hag who I think is a mile better than Santo or Sarri. Ffs Tottenham
At least get Potter in if it’s not Nagelsmann or Ten Hag.
