Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has been linked with a move to Chelsea to become the assistant manager under Maurizio Sarri.

It was confirmed this week that Zola jetted off from his pundit duty in the World Cup to complete the deal that will bring the legend back to Stamford Bridge.

The 51-year-old was working for Super Sports in South Africa covering the World Cup before revealing he had to leave for London.

However, he remained coy about his future as he said: “There are a lot of rumours about me at the moment and nothing has happened. We’ll see what happens in the future.

“But honestly, at the moment it’s only talking, nothing is decided.”
