I'm sure this will put a smile on everyone's face. He has got his head screwed our Franco. Get the right footing and he will be here one day in the future.

I he want's to and has what it takes to be a manager I would welcome him with open arms.

Hello there - first time poster here so go easy eh!

Obviously Zola will follow his own path in his career but I do think his time at Chelsea had a lasting effect on him and I'd love to think he could do his apprenticeship across europe then come back to his spiritual home.

I think he would add some real class as to how we go about our business and maybe change the way chelsea are perceived by the wider football public.

would love to have him back at the Bridge. I could see him come in and be an assistant and work his way into at least an assistant position...like Clarke did

I have a dream of a management team of Zola/Wise/Hughes/Clarke

Probably the best player I have ever seen - but not sure if he has the right personality for management. Possibly to much of a nice guy.

Can't imagine him giving the team a bollocking at half time if we put in a bad performance.

Could always keep HTC on for that...

This ^ :)

im always a bit iffy when ex legends return to the club. id hate to see him fail (though i dont think he would) and leave with that being our lasting memory of him. likewise i was as worried when clarke returned. but hes done a great job.

Out of interest, I wonder what odds you could get on John Terry becoming Chelsea manager at some stage in the future.

He will walk straight into management when he finishes playing (hopefully in at least 10 years time) the same way that Roy Keane did.

I wonder what he would have done this evening if he was in Avram Grant's position against Tottenham.
