Chelsea great Zola replaced by Zeman at Cagliari

Gianfranco Zola has been replaced by Zdenek Zeman at Italian club Cagliari.

The Serie A outfit sacked former Chelsea star Zola earlier on Monday and have immediately reinstated ex-Rossoblu boss Zeman.

The Czech tactician was dismissed by the Sardinian club just before Christmas but has now been reappointed in order to stave off relegation. Cagliari currently sit 18th in Italy's top flight having failed to secure a win since January 25.

"Cagliari would like to announce that first team coaching duties have been handed to Zdenek Zeman and his staff Vincenzo Cangelosi, Giacomo Modica and Roberto Ferola," read a team statement.
