Juventus president Andrea Agnelli is attending tonight’s Europa League final as the Serie A club’s managerial target Maurizio Sarri raises more doubts about his Chelsea future.

Chelsea’s preparations to face Arsenal have been overshadowed by Sarri storming off before the end of training at the Baku Olympic Stadium yesterday evening.

The Blues boss, who admitted he is considering his position in the pre-match press conference, threw and kicked his hat as he marched off the field.

It followed a minor altercation between David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain, although a Chelsea spokesman explained the Italian’s outburst was due to not being able to work on set pieces without the media being able to watch.

He said: “Maurizio’s frustration displayed at the end of training was not related to any of his players, but was due to not being able to practice set-plays in the final 15 minutes of the hour-long training session as it remained open to media.”

Standard Sport understands that Sarri had expressed his frustration over the press having complete access and didn’t want any cameras there at all. But the 60-year-old had to be reminded that it was a prerequisite on the eve of a Uefa Final.

Sarri’s mood wasn’t helped by the sight of N’Golo Kante and Pedro struggling with injuries, which make them doubtful to feature against Unai Emery’s side. Kante, who suffered a knee injury on Saturday, is sure to miss out after only being able to do light exercises for 30 minutes before heading down the tunnel.

Noticeably, the midfielder spoke with club doctor Paco Biosca at length and then disappeared from view. Meanwhile, Pedro appeared to suffer some kind of muscle problem which brought his involvement to a premature end.

Sarri’s erratic behaviour comes at a time when Juventus are planning to make a formal approach to Chelsea for his services.

Juventus, who have won eight successive Serie A titles, are looking for a replacement for Massimiliano Allegri and Sarri is one of their main targets, although sources in Italy suggest Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino is firmly on their wishlist too.

It is believed Agnelli was always planning to be in Baku because he is on the Uefa Executive Committee, but Sarri’s presence as he bids to win a trophy for the first time in his managerial career is an added incentive.
