Premiership: Coaching role opens up for Zola

Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri has promised Gianfranco Zola a future coaching role at Stamford Bridge - but only after the Italian’s commitment to entertain crowds has finally been extinguished.

Zola, 35, has 18 months left on his contract at Chelsea after being persuaded to sign an extension last season when he had appeared to be on the verge of returning to Italy.
