Axed Chelsea coach Zola seeks English manager's job

Gianfranco Zola has hinted he would like a top job in England.

The Chelsea legend has left the club after serving as assistant to Maurizio Sarri last season.

"I was head coach before and my main ambition is to return to that. But to work for Maurizio and Chelsea was a great opportunity," said Zola.

"I want to take the opportunity to say thank you very much to the players, all the coaching staff and all the supporters and the club for the wonderful year we have had.

"Chelsea is in my heart and I was so proud to achieve so much for the club.

"The most important thing is I want to get on with my future.

"I would like to stay in England. I will have to wait and see what happens now."
