Zola Suffers Cruel Rejection

Poor Gianfranco, he may be the best player ever to pull on a pair of boots for Chelsea, but they don't rate him as a coach or a manager it appears. After cutting his managerial teeth at the cheap end of town, Zola might have expected a call to help out 33 year old pup Villas-Boas in a little big brother role, but despite Franco's legendary status at the club, the more workmanlike Di Matteo has been preferred instead.

Zola fans, who seek to excuse their man for any responsibility for our accelerated demise from a top 10 Premiership club to a N Power super power, may struggle to explain why a man sacked by West Brom is deemed a more appropriate appointment than their darling. After all, Zola is meant to be a fantastic coach if you listen to his supporters and he has so many friends inside Chelsea.

Could it be that the guy is crap in a managerial capacity after all? That might perhaps explain why nobody has appointed him since he departed Upton Park more than 12 months ago now.

  1. Zola needs to build up a career for himself in the lower tiers of the football league instead of waiting around for another 'big job' that will never come. I think you're a bit harsh in your estimations of Zola's future career HF. There's evidence to suggest that there's a talented coach in there somewhere who can bring real success to a team, but only if he gains momentum at a smaller club first. You are correct when pointing out the flaws in Zola's current managerial abilities, and if he wants to succeed he must iron these out on a stage that won't attract so much attention.

    I do hope he succeeds. I don't blame him for West Ham's downfall at all and he's no doubt a legend of the game. If the recent charity matches were anything to go by maybe he should give his playing career another go...
