Chelsea assistant ​Zola backs Mourinho to bounce back from Man Utd

Gianfranco Zola believes that Jose Mourinho will bounce back after his latest setback.

The Portuguese manager has lost his position at Manchester United.

Despite a successful first season and a second place finish last term, Mourinho's season at United fell apart from preseason. And with the club over 10 points off a top four position, he was relieved of his duties.

But Chelsea assistant boss Zola believes he will land on his feet.

The 52-year-old said in his press conference: "It's never pleasant to see a coach being dismissed from a job, especially someone like Jose who has won so much in the game and so much for this club.

"I want to wish him all the best. I'm sure he will soon have another adventure somewhere else."
