My dream is to manage Chelsea - Zola

Gianfranco Zola has revealed his dream is to manage Chelsea but admits he needs to improve in order to make the move to Stamford Bridge.

The Italian, who scored 80 goals in 312 appearances for Chelsea, has managed both West Ham and Watford and is currently in charge of Qatari side Al Arabi. Continue


"My dream, let us say my ambition, is to be Chelsea manager some day in the future," Zola told Sky Sports.

"However, I realise that I need to improve as a manager if I want to get there. And I am working hard to achieve my goal. Qatar is helping me a lot in this regard.

"I try to make my side play football in the way I want to see the game played. I have made a small start with Al Arabi and I am confident the results will be seen in the near future."

Jose Mourinho is under pressure to deliver results after Saturday’s defeat to Liverpool, Chelsea’s eighth in all competitions this season, has left the team 15th in the Premier League.

"The club has it in them to turn around their fortunes. A good result in the Champions League game against Dynamo Kiev followed by a couple of league wins will do the trick,” insists Zola.

"There is no one compelling reason for the poor start to the season. The poor form of key offensive players Eden Hazard and Diego Costa has not helped. Defensively as well the team dropped the standards set last year so the players have lost confidence as a group and this has led to poor results."


It would appear everyone wants to manage Chelsea.
