Gianfranco Zola leaving Chelsea

Gianfranco Zola is set to leave Chelsea.

Sky Sports says the 52-year-old, who played Chelsea between 1996 and 2003, returned to the club last summer on a one-year deal to work alongside boss Maurizio Sarri.

It is believed a role as a club ambassador has been offered to Zola but the Italian would prefer to continue coaching and is unlikely to accept the position.

Although Zola has been tipped to follow Sarri to Juve, it is believed he is keen to stay in English football to look for opportunities.
