A Chelsea fan nicknamed Shargi met Maurizio Sarri, who's now in charge of Lazio in Serie A.
Shargi tweeted about the exchange: "Do you know, the Pride of London fans, that when I told him that we thank you for the Europa League, he said that he wishes he would return to Chelsea, by the grace of God 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯"
Sarri spent the 2018/19 season in charge of Chelsea, guiding the team to the Europa League win. The Blues finished third in the Premier League and reached the League Cup final, where they were beaten by Man City on penalties.
The Italian left the club after the end of the season, citing his desire to return to Italy. He later said that leaving the Bridge was a mistake.
Sarri took over at Lazio in 2021 and guided them to a second-placed finish in 2023, their highest since the 1999/00 season. They've qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 by finishing second in their group. The 63-year-old's contract with Lazio expires in 2025.
