Agent: ‘Zola hasn’t talked to Chelsea’

By Football Italia staff

Gianfranco Zola’s agent is frustrated by Chelsea’s protracted pursuit of Maurizio Sarri - “I’ve heard ‘tomorrow will be the right day’ so many times…”

The former Blues striker is expected to take a role with Sarri, either as his assistant or as a go-between with the club and the squad.

However, the Coach is still under contract with the Partenopei, and so far no compensation package has been agreed.

“We need to find an agreement between Sarri and Napoli,” Fulvio Marrucco pointed out on Radio Crc.

“It’s a negotiation which hasn’t taken off, I’ve heard ‘tomorrow will be the right day’ so many times, but too many tomorrows have passed.

“Zola has no agreements with Chelsea. At the moment we’re waiting for Sarri, for a resolution with [Antonio] Conte, for an agreement between Chelsea and Napoli and also an agreement between Sarri and the London club.

“If all that happens, Zola and Sarri can talk about an eventual collaboration. Zola hasn’t had any contact, nor have I ever gone to London.”
