Read our previous How to Get Away With Murder recap here.

Despite all of the secrets, lies and mysteries on How to Get Away With Murder — and there are plenty of those — one thing is always certain: Sam Keating and technology should never, ever mix.

Just when you thought Sam’s most egregious error would be the now-iconic “Why is your penis on a dead girl’s phone?” fiasco from Season 1 — which sincerely feels like it happened a century ago, in Murder time — Thursday’s midseason premiere revealed another of Sam’s technology faux pas, this time in the form of a game-changing email.

But the episode didn’t only focus on Annalise’s ex-husband, who still manages to wreak havoc from beyond the grave; it also dropped new hints about why Gabriel is in Philadelphia, reintroduced a character we haven’t seen in years and answered several of our burning questions.

Read on for the details of “He Betrayed Us Both”:

PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME? | The episode picks up in the immediate aftermath of November’s fall finale, with Annalise understandably wary of Gabriel’s presence in her apartment. But Gabriel assures his professor that he doesn’t want to hurt her; he just wants answers. And that’s enough for Annalise to invite him into the kitchen, where she pours a little vodka and grills Gabriel on who he really is. According to Gabriel, he was always told by his mother (who is still alive, and doesn’t know he’s in Philly right now) that his dad bailed before Gabriel was even born. He never had reason to question that story until a few months ago, when he found his birth certificate while cleaning out his late grandmother’s apartment. Once Gabriel found that document, he decided to come to Middleton in search of answers — though he insists that his drive to be a lawyer is very real.

Gabriel is especially curious about how his father died, and Annalise confirms that it was Wes who killed him; she even plays Gabriel the voicemail that Wes left her in Season 3, where he confessed to murdering Sam. But Gabriel still has questions: Why is Frank looking into him, if Annalise didn’t tell him to do so? And why does Annalise believe that Sam was a bad guy? Annalise, of course, has her fair share of unsavory Sam anecdotes, and she urges Gabriel to understand that his father was a liar and a scoundrel and a heartbreaker. “It’s better to have no father than a bad one,” she tells him.

Later that night, Gabriel sits alone in his bedroom, tearfully processing his conversation with Annalise. He picks up his flip phone and calls someone whose identity we don’t learn. “Hey. I screwed up,” he says. “They found out who I am. Can you call me back?” (Another mysterious phone call recipient? I don’t think my heart can take the secrecy.)

HTGAWM Season 5THROWBACK THURSDAY | Throughout Gabriel’s late-night chat with Annalise, we’re treated to flashbacks from the days immediately following Annalise’s horrific car accident and subsequent stillbirth. (Somehow, Frank’s flashback wig seems to get worse every time.) After getting released from the hospital, Annalise tells Sam that she wants to adopt: There’s a 12-year-old boy named Christophe (who we know as Wes, of course!) who recently lost his mother, and it seems like he’d be a perfect addition to their devastated little family. But Sam isn’t sold on the idea, insisting that he and Annalise need to grieve their own child properly — and when he later discovers that Annalise filed the adoption paperwork anyway, he threatens to leave her. “I’m going through with it, with or without you,” Annalise warns, to which Sam replies, “OK. But it’s without me.”

Sam then leaves Annalise on her own for a few days and tries to pay a visit to his ex-wife, Vivian Maddox. Earlier in the episode, when Annalise had first gotten home from the hospital, Sam had looked up Vivian’s contact information online and left her a voicemail, tearfully begging her to let him meet his son, Gabriel. But when Vivian fails to return his call, he goes to her apartment instead and is greeted by Vivian’s mother, Gwen, who is none too pleased to see Sam at the door. She implores Sam to stay away from both Vivian and Gabriel “if you have an ounce of love or respect or basic human decency left” — but when Gwen slams the door in Sam’s face, he turns to see Gabriel walking up the hallway, bouncing a basketball. Sam seems overwhelmed when he realizes this is his son, and they exchange a few pleasant words… until Vivian’s mother comes back out into the hall and sees them interacting, prompting her to quickly pull Gabriel inside the apartment.

Back at Annalise’s house, Bonnie arrives to find that Annalise has attempted suicide, after learning from the Department of Child Services that Christophe’s adoption was not going to work out. Bonnie helps Annalise regain consciousness and purge the painkillers on which she’d tried to overdose, then successfully gets her to the hospital and back. Once Annalise returns home from the ER, she finally reveals to Bonnie just how heartbroken she is over her son’s death, weeping that her child was taken away from her after years of struggling to get pregnant.

At the end of the hour, these flashbacks finally merge with present-day events by way of an email that Sam had written to Vivian. After being shooed away from Vivian’s apartment all those years ago, Sam had penned a message to his ex-wife, revealing that he’d inadvertently met Gabriel and that he’d really like to be in both Vivian and Gabriel’s lives somehow. “I never stopped loving you,” Sam had written to Vivian. (Ugh, this guy!)

In the final minutes of the episode, two more people get their hands on this email. In the flashbacks, it’s Frank, who receives a knock at his door one morning and opens it to find Eve Rothlow (returning guest star Famke Janssen), Annalise’s onetime lover. “I’m a friend of Annalise’s,” Eve tells Frank, holding out a printed copy of Sam’s email to Vivian. “You’re going to help me with this.” Frank then brings the email directly to Sam and urges him to delete it from his outbox, reminding Sam that his grieving wife needs his support now more than ever. Sam hears the message, loud and clear, and ultimately returns to Annalise so they can work through their marital issues. (And, for the record, we’ve finally learned the identity of “The One” in Frank’s contacts: It’s been Eve all along.)

Meanwhile, in the present day, Annalise is the one who receives Sam’s email to Vivian. Shortly after Gabriel leaves her apartment, Annalise is awoken by a knock on her door, and she, too, opens it to find Eve standing there. After presenting the email to a stunned Annalise, Eve remarks, “He never deserved you.”

HTGAWM Season 5Elsewhere in the episode…

* Bonnie informs Frank that she killed Miller at the wedding, and she spends much of the episode overcome with guilt. “I need to believe he was awful,” Bonnie says, after Frank tries to convince Bonnie that Miller wasn’t playing her. Later, Frank picks up Nate from wherever he dropped off Miller’s body, and Nate can immediately see that Bonnie is torn up over what happened at the wedding. He tries to comfort her by assuring her that Miller’s death was his responsibility, not hers. “He was gonna die either way,” Nate tells an emotional Bonnie. “You just saved him some pain.”

* Laurel reveals Gabriel’s identity to the rest of the Keating Four (which, given Oliver’s presence in the group, should really be the Keating Five again, no?). Connor, Michaela and the rest of the gang are aghast to learn that Gabriel is Sam’s son, and that Laurel kept this a secret for weeks. They begin to suspect that perhaps Bonnie or Frank killed Gabriel at the wedding reception — after all, Bonnie did have blood on her leg, and Laurel later finds more of it on Christopher’s blanket — but Frank attempts to assure them that Gabriel is safe and sound.

Later, the Keating Five grows concerned that Gabriel will somehow get the investigation into Sam’s death reopened, even though Wes initially took the fall for it. Asher giddily informs the group that Bonnie is dating Miller, and there’s no way Bonnie would let him reopen that case — but little do they know, Nate pummeled Miller out of the picture a few short hours ago.

Read our previous How to Get Away With Murder recap here.

Despite all of the secrets, lies and mysteries on How to Get Away With Murder — and there are plenty of those — one thing is always certain: Sam Keating and technology should never, ever mix.

Just when you thought Sam’s most egregious error would be the now-iconic “Why is your penis on a dead girl’s phone?” fiasco from Season 1 — which sincerely feels like it happened a century ago, in Murder time — Thursday’s midseason premiere revealed another of Sam’s technology faux pas, this time in the form of a game-changing email.

But the episode didn’t only focus on Annalise’s ex-husband, who still manages to wreak havoc from beyond the grave; it also dropped new hints about why Gabriel is in Philadelphia, reintroduced a character we haven’t seen in years and answered several of our burning questions.

Read on for the details of “He Betrayed Us Both”:

PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME? | The episode picks up in the immediate aftermath of November’s fall finale, with Annalise understandably wary of Gabriel’s presence in her apartment. But Gabriel assures his professor that he doesn’t want to hurt her; he just wants answers. And that’s enough for Annalise to invite him into the kitchen, where she pours a little vodka and grills Gabriel on who he really is. According to Gabriel, he was always told by his mother (who is still alive, and doesn’t know he’s in Philly right now) that his dad bailed before Gabriel was even born. He never had reason to question that story until a few months ago, when he found his birth certificate while cleaning out his late grandmother’s apartment. Once Gabriel found that document, he decided to come to Middleton in search of answers — though he insists that his drive to be a lawyer is very real.

Gabriel is especially curious about how his father died, and Annalise confirms that it was Wes who killed him; she even plays Gabriel the voicemail that Wes left her in Season 3, where he confessed to murdering Sam. But Gabriel still has questions: Why is Frank looking into him, if Annalise didn’t tell him to do so? And why does Annalise believe that Sam was a bad guy? Annalise, of course, has her fair share of unsavory Sam anecdotes, and she urges Gabriel to understand that his father was a liar and a scoundrel and a heartbreaker. “It’s better to have no father than a bad one,” she tells him.

Later that night, Gabriel sits alone in his bedroom, tearfully processing his conversation with Annalise. He picks up his flip phone and calls someone whose identity we don’t learn. “Hey. I screwed up,” he says. “They found out who I am. Can you call me back?” (Another mysterious phone call recipient? I don’t think my heart can take the secrecy.)

HTGAWM Season 5THROWBACK THURSDAY | Throughout Gabriel’s late-night chat with Annalise, we’re treated to flashbacks from the days immediately following Annalise’s horrific car accident and subsequent stillbirth. (Somehow, Frank’s flashback wig seems to get worse every time.) After getting released from the hospital, Annalise tells Sam that she wants to adopt: There’s a 12-year-old boy named Christophe (who we know as Wes, of course!) who recently lost his mother, and it seems like he’d be a perfect addition to their devastated little family. But Sam isn’t sold on the idea, insisting that he and Annalise need to grieve their own child properly — and when he later discovers that Annalise filed the adoption paperwork anyway, he threatens to leave her. “I’m going through with it, with or without you,” Annalise warns, to which Sam replies, “OK. But it’s without me.”

Maurizio Sarri is keen on the Uruguayan who was the most expensive signing in French history when he moved to PSG from Napoli six years ago.

Sarri who is preparing to remodel his squad in the next two transfer windows could offload six or seven players this month alone.

He has seen his side only score 38 goals in the Premier League which is comfortably the lowest number of the clubs in the top six and has lost faith in his front men.

Cavani, 31, has scored 324 goals in 519 appearances could be the right man to get his side firing in goals again but they could find they have competition from China.

Meanwhile the Blues are also interested in finalising a deal that will see them pay £45million for Cagliari’s Italian international midfielder Nicolo Barella.

Like they did with Christian Pulisic Chelsea will agree a deal for Barella, 21, seen as one of the best talents in Italy now and he will then move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.

The Blues are also set to let Cesc Fabregas leave the club this month.

The Spaniard bid an emotional farewell to Stamford Bridge on Saturday in the 2-0 FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest.

Speaking after what is believed to be his final Chelsea appearance, Fabregas admitted: “The occasion got the better of me.

“I didn’t expect all of this to happen today.

“I can’t say anything out of respect for Chelsea but everyone knows the situation.”

Fabregas is expected to link up with his former Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry who is now the manager of Monaco.

The Ligue 1 side are second from bottom and desperate to avoid relegation.

Chelsea return to action on Tuesday when they take on Tottenham in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

Meanwhile, one Super Lig side are hoping to capitalise on Mesut Ozil’s Turkish roots with the aim of luring him away from the Emirates.

All that and more in another edition of Rumour Mill!

BLUES CHASE SUPERSTAR DUO

Chelsea are holding talks with AC Milan and Juventus over Gonzalo Higuain while also chasing Lyon star Nabil Fekir.

According to The Sun, Higuain could join the Blues on loan in January with Alvaro Morata heading to the San Siro in a short-term swap deal.

The Argentine is currently on loan at Milan for the season, but with the Italians struggling to adhere to FFP rules, may offload him.

And with just 18 months left on Fekir’s current contract at Lyon, the Frenchman could be tempted to join the Blues — if the fee is right, of course.

OZIL WANTED IN AUDACIOUS MOVE FROM TURKISH SIDE

Turkish outfit Istanbul Basaksehir are considering a shock move for Arsenal star Mesut Ozil.

Real Madrid and Inter Milan have also been linked with the German playmaker but it’s Basaksehir that have emerged as surprise contenders for Ozil’s signature.

According to TeamTalk the club are hoping to capitalise on the Gunners ace’s Turkish roots with reports that Ozil would happily take up ano offer to leave Arsenal in January.

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are also interested in signing the 30-year-old — but after being named captain this weekend, a move away could be unlikely.

THREE HUGE EURO HEAVYWEIGHTS EYE ENGLISH YOUNG GUN

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are all keeping tabs on England star Jadon Sancho.

The Three Lions youngster is being chased by Europe’s top clubs after an astonishing season so far at Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho earned his first England cap this season as he continues to justify his move away from Manchester City in 2017.

The 18-year-old has scored seven times in 24 appearances for Dortmund this season to become one of the first names on the teamsheet.

And his form hasn’t gone unnoticed either as the likes of Real, Barca and Bayern are all lining up to make their move come January.

FRENCH CHAMPS ADD PL DUO TO GROWING WISHLIST

PSG have identified Merseyside pair Fabinho and Idrissa Gueye as potential January moves, according to French outlet L’Equipe.

With Adrien Rabiot expected to leave in January, the French champions are desperate to sign a holding midfielder and it’s understood the duo fit the bill.

Rather than let Rabiot go for free in the summer, the Parisian side want to cash in on him an dhave lined up several huge big-name signings.

Gueye and Fabinho are the latest names on PSG’s growing wishlist along with Southampton star Mario Lemina, Frenkie De Jong, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Diadie Samassekou.

CHERRIES PAIR ON THE WAY OUT

Bournemouth forwards Josh King and Callum Wilson could be snapped up in the January transfer window.

King will be on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s radar next month, after the Manchester United caretaker insisted he “will have an input” on transfers.

According to The Sun, Solskjaer is a massive fan of the fellow Norwegian — the pair worked together when hen the striker was coming up through the ranks at Old Trafford.

King isn’t the only man establishing himself on the South Coast, with Wilson’s recent form earning him an England call-up.

The Blues are said to be confident of securing a deal for the one cap, one goal, Three Lions star, with Sarri hoping Wilson can finally solve their striker struggles.

Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck didn't mind the expanded workload on Thursday night.

Patrik Laine, Blake Wheeler and Kyle Connor each had a goal and an assist, and the Jets beat the St. Louis Blues 5-1.

Adam Lowry and Brandon Tanev also scored and Mark Scheifele had a pair of assists as the Jets won their fifth season opener in six years. Hellebuyck made 41 saves and improved to 5-2 against St. Louis in his career.

"I was having some fun out there, I was enjoying everything," Hellebuyck said. "The guys made it so easy on me. I was able to square up and do my job. I think that's the key."

Lowry's unassisted short-handed goal at 5:51 of the third began a Winnipeg three-goal outburst in a span of 1 minute, 44 seconds to put away the game. Lowry's breakaway came moments after Hellebuyck stoned Alexander Steen on a power-play chance.

Watch highlights of Winnipeg's win:

The Winnipeg Jets scored four goals in the third period, as they beat the St. Louis Blues 5-1 to open their season. 1:39

"He was unreal, just ridiculous," Laine said of Hellebuyck. "Watching from the bench those saves he made. He was really good tonight and I think he was easily the best player on the ice tonight."

Wheeler scored 64 seconds later and Connor tipped one past Jake Allen at 7:35 to complete the flurry.

"It didn't take too long," Blues coach Mike Yeo said. "It's a breakdown that turns into another breakdown that turns into another breakdown. That can't happen. At a point when we needed to keep pushing and find another level to our game, we took a step back."

The Jets outscored the Blues 4-1 in the third period, despite getting outshot 20-8. Jets coach Paul Maurice gave the credit to Hellebuyck.

"Most of it was short-handed but you need your goaltender to be that good and he had a number of really good saves," Maurice said. "You get a guy like that playing that kind of game, it inspires you to push a little harder. He had to be real good."

The Jets have won nine of their last 11 against the Blues and have outscored St. Louis 36-19 during that span.

Vince Dunn scored late in the third period and Allen made 20 saves as the Blues lost their season opener for the first time in four years.

Laine gave the Jets a 1-0 lead four minutes into the game with a power-play goal that deflected off of Blues defenceman Colton Parayko and past Allen.

"I felt really good during the game," Laine said. "I was able to create some good chances. I think it was a pretty good first game."

Hellebuyck made 22 saves in the first two periods, including a big blocker save on Ryan O'Reilly's power-play chance late in the second, and got help from his post twice in the first.

"It was tough to crack him," O'Reilly said. "It happens some nights, but you've got to push through it and find a way to put it in."

Weatherald’s unbeaten 106 (98 balls) in a 171-run, third-wicket stand with skipper Jake Lehmann (87) and international discard Zampa’s 3-37 from 10 overs bankrolled a seven-wicket, bonus point win at the WACA. The Blues couldn’t defend 241 with left-handers Lehmann and Weatherald in full flight.

Weatherald spent winter in Brisbane with the National Performance squad tightening his technique under Chris Rogers. The Blues’ under-par total was chewed up with 10 risk free boundaries and four sixes from the 23-year-old. Weatherald was a picture of composure through a fourth one-day ton in just 15 innings, averaging 50 which will prick the ears of Trevor Hohns’ selection panel.

Lehmann took a debut outing as skipper replacing Test batsman Travis Head in typical, unfazed fashion. Lehmann was severe off the back foot, blazing 12 boundaries on the way to his highest one-day score.

Redbacks keeper-batsman Alex Carey (5) copped a Sean Abbott corker that swung through the gate while No.3 Callum Ferguson paid the price for rushing at Mickey Edwards (2/66) and edged to Nick Larkin with SA 2-43 in the ninth over.

In a surprise move, Mickey Edwards persisted around the wicket to the Redbacks left-landers. Lehmann fell to gallant Edwards with the damage done in the 36th over.

Tom Cooper (12) remained unconquered with Weatherald in wiping the 28 South Australia (3-245) needed to win after Lehmann’s exit. Having watched Weatherald reach his century with a slick boundary, Cooper struck the winning runs.

“It was easy with Lehmo coming out and batting so well, he took a lot of pressure of me. I have worked all winter on the down the shots and defence,” said Weatherald who delivered the 2017-18 Big Bash League title to Adelaide Strikers with 115 in the final against Hobart last February.

“Chasing 240 we just needed to stay calm and cash in when they missed.”

The Blues quest for a formidable 300 target was quashed by one-Test paceman Chadd Sayers (2/52) and Zampa at 4-64 in the 15th over.

Sayers continued to shake type casting as a red ball specialist snaring Ryan Gibson (0) and Kurtis Patterson (4).

Leg-spinner Zampa showed Australia what it missed in an historic 5-0 one-day whitewash to England in June. A World Cup ticket is still on the radar for Zampa.

Zampa has reworked his approach to the wicket, adding urgency through the hips to gain extra fizz and speed through the air.

“I hadn’t played a one-day game in Perth but just wanted to bowl my variations and hit the ground running. I have been working on a lot of things to try and get better, hopefully I will be in calculations,” Zampa told Fox Sports.

Zampa bowled Moises Henriques (16) with a beauty that spun just enough on a strip offering little for slow bowlers. Nick Larkin (16) forced a catch from Cooper – low and sharp – reminiscent of Mark Waugh’s heyday in the slips cordon.

Everything Zampa touched was turning to gold. A drive from Jay Lenton ricocheted off the tweaker to catch Blues top-scorer Daniel Hughes (79) short at the non-striker’s end.

Zampa has always been an impressive fielder off his own bowling and moved with precision to his left to take a return chance off Jay Lenton for 18.

Cameos from Jack Edwards (42) and in-form Daniel Sams (30) weren’t enough as former Test paceman Joe Mennie (2/52) clamped the tail.

South Australia takes on unbeaten rival Western Australia on Saturday at the WACA.

ISAAC Heeney took a contender for mark of the year as Sydney held off a late fightback from a wasteful Melbourne to record a nine-point win, 13.9 (87) to 10.18 (88), in a match that lex Johnson suffered a knee injury that could mean a sixth reconstruction for the luckless Swans defender.

The Western Bulldogs celebrated Dale Morris’s 250th game in the best possible way, and may have ended North Melbourne’s finals hopes in the process, holding on to win by seven points, 13.14 (92) to 12.13 (85).

Fremantle booted 10 goals to three in a big second half to run out 15.11 (101) to 10.12 (72) winners over Carlton.

The Blues led by 13 points at half time but were unable to sustain that form in the second half to record an upset win.

Both teams suffered bad news on the injury front with Michael Walters (hamstring) and Luke Ryan (leg) hurt during the game and Matthew Kreuzer (heart) ruled out for the rest of the season after being a late withdrawal.

The Italian, appointed to take over from Antonio Conte only three weeks ago, is remarkably, the ninth different permanent manager to be appointed by owner Roman Abramovich since he bought the club in 2003.

Sarrim who had a smile on his face as he made his plea on Friday, knows full well that Abramovich has a fearsome reputation as a man with little patience with his managers at Chelsea, with Luiz Felipe Scolari lasting only seven months in the hot seat in 2008-09.

In fact the longest anyone has managed under the Russian billionaire is Jose Mourinho in his first spell at the club – three years three months.

Former Napoli manager Sarri faces his friend and admirer and his Manchester City team on Sunday in the Community Shield game at Wembley, insisting that he wants to pick up some silverware early in his Chelsea career – but warning that it will be tough.

Sarri, who has only been working with his squad for two and a half weeks, admitted that to survive he knows he will have to win trophies, and he said: “Will I get time to get it right like Pep?

“It depends on the club. I want to stay here for 10 years.

“I know I have to win. And then it depends on the club. I want to stay here for a long time.”

Sarri joined on a three year contract last month after lengthy negotiations finally prised him away from Napoli, where he had already been replaced by Carlo Ancelotti. His team at Napoli won widespread praise for the football they played – but he did not win a trophy in his three years there.

The 59 year old Italian said: “It is important to start with a trophy. Important to prepare for the step forward.

“First of all I am looking forward to playing at Wembley, because it is my first time.

“The match will be difficult for us. I want to win because. But right now it is the performance that is important.

“We have to improve of course. I hope to see from my team another improving performance.”

Sarri has this week been frustrated in seeing several transfer targets slip through his fingers, with striker Gonzalo Higuain and defender Mattia Caldara both joining AC Milan instead of Chelsea from Juventus, and another defender, Daniele Rugani, now staying with Juve.

, and with Shakhtar Donetsk’s former winger Bernard, and are also chasing Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha.

They hope to get at least one more deal over the line before next Thursday’s deadline.

Sarri said: “I don’t know what will happen. I talk with the club about the market. We’ve spoken about positions but no names.

“I think we need something. We have very good midfielders – but maybe a midfielder with different characteristics.”

The new Chelsea manager did get one major bonus yesterday as forward Pedro signed a new one year deal.

They have already identified transfer targets and are in talks with Juventus over central defender Daniele Rugani having made a bid of £30m.

The Blues also hope to sign CSKA Moscow midfielder Aleksandr Golovin and Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

Sarri succeeds Antonio Conte, who was sacked on Thursday – but the club now face a tough legal battle with the former Italy boss.

When Conte was axed on Thursday by chairman Bruce Buck, according to sources in Italy, he was told he would receive no lump sum due to “a series of irregular behaviours”.

His controversial dumping of Diego Costa via text last summer is thought to be the key issue, with the club claiming that action reduced the value of the player.

Conte is consulting his lawyers over the issue. Employment lawyer Alexandra Mizzi of Howard Kennedy LLP said: “An interesting detail is that Conte signed his new contract last summer with an increased salary after the row over Costa blew up.

“That fact undermines Chelsea’s case. They will have to show that he is in breach of contract. No doubt he will have clauses in that contract that he will have to promote the best interests of the club. But he will argue that the club were prepared to give him a rise in salary after the Costa incident.”

Chelsea’s first game of pre-season is the July 23 friendly with Perth Glory.

The Blues leave for Western Australia next Wednesday and will hope Sarri is on board.

Sarri has replaced Conte as boss before, with a short-lived spell at Arezzo in 2006-07 before Conte was reappointed.

During three years with Napoli, Sarri’s side finished Serie A runners-up twice. He is yet to win a trophy in professional football.

Gianfranco Zola, the former Chelsea playmaker, could join Sarri’s coaching staff – if his fellow Italian is appointed.

The Blues have also been linked with signing Napoli’s Italy midfielder Jorginho.
