LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is planning for the long-term despite the club's fans booing his side during Monday's FA Cup defeat by Manchester United at Stamford Bridge which has fanned media speculation about his future.

"I have to think that I will be the manager of Chelsea for a long time, otherwise I cannot work... I'm not sure but I have to think this," Sarri told a news conference ahead of the League Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday.
