Napoli head coach Maurizio Sarri is considering an offer from Russian club Zenit St Petersburg, according to Sky in Italy.

The Italian was visited by club officials last week and during a meeting, they presented him with a deal to succeed Roberto Mancini, who left the club to become Italy boss earlier this month.

After Napoli's final game of the season, Sarri sparked doubt around his future at the club saying "everything comes to an end" amid reported interest from Chelsea.

Sarri held talks with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis on Wednesday regarding his future but admits he is yet to make a decision on where he will be next season.

The former Empoli boss has said he will not move to another Italian club directly from Napoli.

When asked about Sarri's future, club president Aurelio De Laurentiis said: "Will Sarri remain? I don't know, time has run out."

Sky In Italy also understands Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri looks set to remain in Turin after holding positive talks on Monday, with the club already planning for the new season.

Juventus will not renew the former AC Milan boss' contract which is set to expire in 2020.
