MAURIZIO SARRI has threatened to QUIT Chelsea if he needs to beat Arsenal in the Europa League final to save his job.

SunSport have reported that Juventus are ready to swoop in and offer the Blues gaffer the vacant post in Turin following the sacking of Massimiliano Allegri.

Sarri has led Chelsea to a third-place finish in the Premier League and two cup finals this season.

But questions whether he will stay at Stamford Bridge beyond the current campaign have persisted.

And the Blues coach dropped a bombshell when it was again suggested his job is on the line.

Asked whether he needs to win the Europa League title to save his position, Sarri said: "If the situation is like this then I want to go immediately.

"After 10 months of work then I have to play for everything in 90 minutes. It is not the right way. You are either happy with my work or not.

"This season is a good season, of course, if we win the Europa League it will become a wonderful season.

"I think this group deserves to continue to try to improve more."

Sarri insisted his first year in England was "very good", although he is aware more needs to be done at Stamford Bridge to improve results.

But the Italian coach admits the Euro final could be a season-defining moment.

He has regularly been subjected to criticism from Blues fans because of his team selection and tactical choices.

But when asked whether he indeed has the public against him, Sarri said: "I don't know the situation about the fans and the media, one is probably the consequence of the other.

"I can only work, try to help my team, play better win matches, I can't do more…"

Sarri added: "We had a very good season but we need to do more and improve. I don't know what to say about the market, my future is the final.

"I am not able to think about next season or more. My feeling is that for our group this final is very important."

Sarri's revelations come shortly after Juventus have made him their No1 target to replace the sacked Allegri.

And the Blues have been put on alert as the former Juve man has revealed he wants to take up a new job from next season.

Chelsea have approached Allegri on numerous occasions in the past.

Meanwhile, Stamford Bridge hero Frank Lampard is believed to be in the mix for the Blues post, too, as Sarri's future is looking increasingly uncertain.
