Chelsea To Turn To Zola?
-
Chelsea are reportedly considering turning to legend Gianfranco Zola in a bid to bring supporters back on side as the Blues threaten to implode following their loss of form and the departure of Jose Mourinho from Stamford Bridge.
The Daily Express claims that Chelsea are considering a bringing Gianfranco Zola back to the club alongside World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi.
Chelsea have stressed they are keeping faith with current boss Avram Grant, but it seems nobody believes the Israeli is really Mournho's long-time successor.
Owner Roman Abramovich wants to bring back Zola, now helping to run ItalyÂ’s Under-21 team, as a coach to rescue a season that is falling apart.
However, Zola, like Grant, does not have a UEFA Pro licence, but is working towards it with the Italian FA.
Chelsea want to tempt him back to his beloved Bridge with an established international name alongside him – and World Cup winner Lippi is the man. -

Zola turns down chance to join Grant's regime
Gianfranco Zola has rejected an approach to join Chelsea's troubled coaching staff. Regarded by Chelsea supporters as one of the club's finest ever footballers, the former Italy international was sounded out about working alongside the manager Avram Grant but, after checking with friends at Stamford Bridge, elected not to involve himself with the Israeli's unpopular regime.
It is the second time Zola, currently joint coach of Italy's Under-21 team, has resisted the lure of Roman Abramovich's millions. In the summer of 2003 he refused to renege on an agreement to sign for hometown team Cagliari, ignoring the Russian's attempts to increase his salary generously to keep him at Stamford Bridge.
Though Zola is keen to coach in English football, he turned down the opportunity to return to Chelsea after consulting with former team-mates. He is understood to have been told that Grant has failed to win over much of a squad still upset by Jose Mourinho's enforced departure, and that it would not be wise to associate himself with a man whose training regime, team selection and close relationship with the owner have come under serious question. -
ask grant go die la.. useless 1...
