Quotes from Maurizio Sarri

London is a wonderful city, but I am here for Chelsea. It's 100 per cent hard work, 90 per cent fun.

I want to have fun on the pitch in the training sessions and have fun and win during the matches.

I have won Serie B, Serie C, Serie D like the Championship, League One, and League Two here in England.

I have to know the characteristics of the players. I have to adapt myself to the characteristics of the championship and the players. Now I study my players.

I have made many memories during my time with Chelsea, which I will take with me into my next challenge.

In Naples, I was very lucky to find my players adapted to my way of football. They were strong as players and strong from a human point of view.

Chelsea is one of the most important clubs in the most important championship in Europe.

Sometimes there are the conditions for winning. Sometimes not.

In the Premier League, there are all the most important coaches in Europe, maybe the world.

In the Premier League, there is a team above the others. This team is Manchester City. Then there is a very good team, Liverpool.

Jorginho is not a physical player, he is a technical player, but the most important quality is that he is very quick in the mind. He has the ability to move the ball very quickIy.

Balance is the secret for every team. There cannot be a defensive formation and an attacking formation: such a concept is a limitation.

The attacking capacity of a team is the fruit of the work of the manager and of the quality of the players.

Jorginho is really suitable to the way I like to play. He is a player that has many good sides to him. He wants to work hard, and he's very fast in moving the ball, which is important for us, although there is also Cesc Fabregas, who has the same potential as Jorginho.

I like it when the team is training very well, when they are trying to improve, and I like it also when they have fun.

I love England, it's my home now. But I've been to the city, the centre of London, very little, as I don't really relax.

Sometimes I'm working at the training ground, sometimes at my home.

I am much more a pitch manager than a general manager. I am one of the few managers who is bored by the transfer market. Our task is growing the players that we have.

I got a house... in Effingham, so they lock me up in my hermitic seal, and if they knock, I don't answer the door. I am immersed in my world.

Usually, a team of Claudio is really very solid. They usually defend very well, sometimes low, but very well.

I'm not interested in nationality. Players are neither English, French, or any nationality. They are not young or old. They are stronger or not strong.

The child in each of us must be nurtured - that often makes us the best.

Usually, you can live very well for two, three months, then you're in trouble. Every coach, I think, is like this. For two months, you're happy because you have time, and after two months, you miss adrenaline.
