Antonio Conte would have hep soon, and it could be a fellow Italian that Chelsea would welcome to occupy the role of Technical Director, according to Tuttosport.
The simple reason why Zola has appeared as a candidate is his ability to restore calmness to the club that seems to be going through trouble. Reports have had it that owner Roman Abramovich is not on good talking terms with Conte, with Marina Granovskaia, the mediator between coach and owner.
Zola is a club legend and will bring with him the respect that means he will be listened to with respect to technical and recruitment decisions. The fact he is Italian will also help get Conte stay longer than recent reports have had it.
Michael Emenalo resigned from his position about a week ago, leaving Conte to work directly with Granovskaia, but not all is well between the two.
Chelsea will hope to find some stability at the top offices as well as on the pitch with inconsistent performances and results to go with it.
