Maurizio Sarri has put family first after coming up with a smart way to keep his Chelsea players happy.

According to the Sun, the new Chelsea manager - who took over from Antonio Conte in the summer - has introduced late-starting training sessions to allow his players to spend some quality time with their families during mornings.

Sarri has moved quickly to become a popular figure at Cobham following the strict but successful regime of former manager Conte.

The former Napoli manager appears sympathetic to his new players and their lives outside football.

Sarri worked in the banking industry until he took up his first managerial job at the age of 40, so understands there is more to life than football.
