Chelsea reject £50m Barcelona bid for Willian

Sarri given a month to save his job

-
Maurizio Sarri’s fate as Chelsea’s head coach will in effect be determined over the remainder of this month as the Italian seeks to convince the club’s hierarchy that he can recover some poise and still deliver Champions League qualification for next season.
