Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is backing Gianfranco Zola to lift West Ham United away from the dropzone.
West Ham are in crisis with the team continuing to flop while the off-field financial problems continue to take their toll.
But Blues boss Ancelotti is adamant his fellow Italian can get West Ham's season back on track and keep the Hammers in the Premier League.
"I am a fan of Zola, I'm a fan of the good guys and he's a good coach," said Ancelotti. "It's his first experience as first-team coach and I think that last year he did very well.
"It can be a difficult period when there's not a good result, you don't train well or you have injury problems.
"Now he has some problems but he has the quality to solve this."
