Chelsea legend Zola axed as Cagliari boss

Former West Ham and Watford boss Gianfranco Zola has been sacked by Serie A club Cagliari after just 10 league games in charge. "Cagliari announce that Gianfranco Zola and his staff have been relieved of the technical leadership of the first team," the Sardinian club said in a statement.

"It was a decision which was taken reluctantly against a great man who has written unforgettable pages in the history of Cagliari, bringing brilliance and giving international prestige to the land of Sardinia."

Cagliari are 18th in the table, four points adrift of safety.
