AC Milan Midfielder Loftus-Cheek Reflects on the Influence of Sarri: Why He is My Most Important Coach

During his time as the manager of Chelsea, Sarri had the opportunity to work closely with Loftus-Cheek.

Loftus-Cheek told Sportmediaset: “He is the coach who had the most influence in my career. He came to Chelsea when I was young and he gave the most opportunity to learn.

“He wanted me to be better and I had the most improvement of my career that season with his help and guidance.”

He also said: “I am someone who wants to win every game and sometimes you can’t, so the most important thing is for us to stay united, train properly and I believe we will start to see better results.

“The way we work on the training pitch can only improve the way we play in general.”
