The agent of Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has confirmed that his client is delighted to be linked with a return back to his former club this summer.
The ex-Italian international is being discussed as a possible number two for Maurizio Sarri, should the former Napoli boss get the job this summer.
Zola hasn’t been involved in a managerial role since his stint at Birmingham City back in 2016 and his agent, who was speaking to CalcioNpoli24, as translated by Sport Witness, explained how the deal is progressing.
There have not been contacts with Chelsea or with Sarri’s staff. The first step is to find an agreement between Conte and Chelsea for the contract termination, then Sarri needs to sign. Zola is very happy about the rumours. His managerial idols are Guardiola and Sarri. Working with Maurizio would be a fantastic thing. For him, it would be a return home, as Chelsea is home away from home for Zola.
Sarri is expected to be named as Chelsea’s new manager in the coming days after lengthy negotiations between the Premier League side and Napoli.
Current head coach Antonio Conte is set to leave the club after the Blues agreed a compensation package for the former Juventus boss and the rest of his coaching staff.
Zola remains a popular figure at Stamford Bridge following his stint in London as a player. The 51-year-old played at Chelsea for seven years where he made over 300 appearances across all competitions.
