'He’s a good coach, without doubt' - Zola hoping to see Conte stay at Chelsea

A former favourite at Stamford Bridge believes the Italian remains the right man for the club and should be offered assurances on his future

Chelsea need to “sort” their Antonio Conte issues, says Gianfranco Zola, who believes the Italian is still the right man to lead the club forward.

The Blues boss continues to see his future called into question after failing to piece together a Premier League title defence at Stamford Bridge.

A second stint with the Italy national team is being mooted, with the 48-year-old on the Azzurri’s shortlist as they prepare to make a permanent appointment for a vacant post.
