Claudio, lovely to see you.
How are you feeling?
Have you had a resting summer?
You can't let it go.
You had a season in France, of course, as the manager for Nantes.
And a very strong team in PSG, of course, Unai Emery was the manager that you faced.
There was an interesting incident where one of your players got sent off after the referee kicked him.
Never in my life.
And that referee, Tony Chaperon, I think is his name, you were saying he's one of the best referees in Ligue 1.
Well, the players don't mess with him, clearly, because if they do, he gets sent off.
Absolutely.
So you've had a few months off since the end of the French season.
Did you enjoy the World Cup, Claudio?
Did you go 20th again?
Yeah, brilliant stuff.
It's interesting because the way Chelsea have tended to employ managers since Abramovich has come in is to buy managers that have been successful all around the world.
Big-name managers with a strong CV in terms of success and winning things.
Sarri's a bit of a departure.
Like you say, he had an incredible season at Napoli last year.
Great success, but didn't win and hadn't won.
