Zidane is said to be their top target if they decide to sack under-pressure boss Maurizio Sarri. However, The Sun claims Italian giants Juventus want him to replace Massimiliano Allegri, with the Italian set to leave the club in the summer. So if Chelsea hesitate they risk missing out on Zidane, who spent five years at Juve as a player and has never hidden his affection for his old club. Sarri, though, might have given himself a stay of execution after a spirited penalty shootout loss to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final was followed up with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham in the Premier League on Wednesday night. Wednesday’s result means they are just three points off the top four but they remain sixth and owner Roman Abramovich might act if it looks as though they will miss out on the Champions League next season. Sarri also appeared to take back control of the dressing room as he dropped rebel keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for the Tottenham win after he refused to be substituted in Sunday’s Cup final. "It was very easy. Kepa made a big mistake and then paid with the club,” he said after the game. “In this match he has to pay with the team. "It was only a message for all the team, the dressing room - we are a team and not 25 individuals. “Now it is behind us and Kepa from tomorrow [he] will be with us." The win might have ended Tottenham’s Premier League title hopes while dragging their London rivals back into the race for the top four. And Sarri believes it could be a turning point in their season. "It was really very important tonight because we're fighting for the top four," he added. "I don't know but I think maybe with this result we could involve Tottenham in this fight. “The gap is very large, seven points, but we have one match [in hand]." "In this job you are under pressure every week, if you're lucky every six months. “It's normal. If you lose two matches, three matches in a row you're under pressure. I think it's normal for every coach, maybe something more in Chelsea."
