Watford boss Gianfranco Zola insists speculation surrounding the Chelsea job won't be a distraction

Gianfranco Zola says he is keen to repay Watford Gianfranco Zola says he is keen to repay Watford

Gianfranco Zola insists speculation linking him with the Chelsea job will not be a distraction and says he is keen to 'repay' Watford for choosing him as head coach.

Zola was again linked with the Chelsea manager's job on Friday, this time by the Daily Mirror's Martin Lipton.

When asked about the Chelsea job after Saturday's match, Zola replied: "It won’t be a distraction. Obviously I am flattered that there is interest in me, I don't know whether it is true or not. I am a young manager and it means that my job over here has been appreciated. But they won’t take anything from me in terms of attention, focus and determination to do well for this club.

"I have found the perfect conditions here to build myself as a manager and I want to repay them until the end for the fact that they chose me."

Zola played more than 300 matches for Chelsea and was named FWA Footballer of the Year in 1997 and the Blues' greatest ever player in 2003.

It's merely lazy journalism from Lipton and the likes, linking former players with a return to management is the easy way out.
Chelsea shouldn't have sacked Di Matteo in a knee jerk reaction and they wouldn't be in such a mess.

If he has found the perfect conditions there is no need to go anywhere else. The trust he has with his superiors works both ways, he's working with top top coaches and the players and supporters love and respect him, perfect apart from the East Stand!

Agree. We've got to get use to the fact success brings sensationalist press. I take it as a compliment.

Good to see your keeping that Welsh international on the bench. I do hope the team will run out to Californication by the Red hot chilli Peppers. Thought the turnip would have made a better boss or have you been swayed by the odious Jeff Powell?

Aubergine and Eggplant are the same vegetable as well. Its just that the Americans can't cope with words like Aubergine, so they call it an eggplant instead.

Zola has a long history at Chelsea and he has previously said that he would love to manage there one day so i'm sure that if he was offered the job he would take it in an instant. However I really don't think Chelsea would be interested in him yet because he has very limited managerial experience compared to the managers that they have previously appointed. Let us also remember that Di Matio was an assistant that took over temp charge and was given the full time job due to peer pressure from the fans after the Champions League win.

P155ed off with Chelsea buying their trophies and all the other parasites that but for the rich mens toys that clubs have become buying premier division places I think WFC would have had a few more seasons in the top flight. Would have been nice playing Chelsea in the FA Cup without their dosh, same for Man C. As sung from the terraces at Etihad "Where were you when you were sh1t" says it all.

Anyway it would be another insult to poach our boss.

Now WFC are a rich man's play thing, but only making up lost ground for WHam QPR Chelsea ManC NU among others in smaller doses.

If Zola does go (which I doubt) his diary will be free for 2014 onwards, as RA wants instant success - not going to happen.

I am hoping that GFZ is in it for the long haul as are (I hope ) the Pozzo family.
I agree it is just sloppy paper talk but they have to fill their pages of waffle somehow.
The Pozzo family are it seems willing to give GFZ space and time to achieve their aims .No one cuts the mustard quite like Roman for the order of the boot,but lets not fool ourselves that the Pozzos aren't results based too.

Although loyalty in football is as rare as an English flag draped on Sir Alexs' wall,I believe that their is a good measure of it here.As I hope GFZ pushes us to the Prem more chairman will be courting his services,but I trust our owners will convince him to stay or if not bring in a better man. They have been true to their word with the players I am sure they would with the manager,

Why am I speculating on a rubbish artical ? must be bored COYH

I don't think he would take it now if it were offered, even for more money. He is happy here; we are more than happy with him, and he is learning his trade - and proving more than a few people wrong in the process.

I just hope Vydra takes the same view.

Although it is treated like a vegetable the pumpkin, a member of the squash family, is the fruit of the species Cucurbita pepo or Cucurbita mixta. It can refer to a specific variety of the species Cucurbita maxima or Cucurbita moschata, which are all of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae.

I can't see any truth in this article! No way Chelsea would approach Zola at this current time!
This is a cheap shot at our club from the Mirror to disable our chances of promotion!
The problem with Chelsea is they have binned three perfectly good managers in Mourinhio, Ancelotti and DiMatteo and subsequently have run out of options now Pep Guardiola has decided on B Munich!
No one knows what to do at that club and it won't supprise me if Benitez stays as they've ran out of options!

Just maybe, it could be that GFZ being a multi millionaire by his own rights, would like to build his legacy at Watford before testing himself higher up. He is I believe a sensitive man, and the trauma of WHU is in the process of being remedied.
Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and support him to the hilt.

Been wearing them all evening while reading your book. Half way thru. Some good writing in that.

Yes Zola will go one day but at least he's been bitten before and is hopefully wise to the knee-jerk berks like Abramo. He knows he's got a great job here like GT used to say in the 80s he had one of the best jobs in football.

Anyway I'm bigging up the Mourinho return. I think it's on!
