Zola says uncertainty over Chelsea manager Antonio Conte's future isn't
healthy for the club.
Conte's second season at the club ended with lifting the FA Cup after
victory over Manchester United at Wembley but they finished outside the
Champions League qualification spots, coming fifth in the Premier League.
The Italian manager has one year left on his three-year contract but his
future has been the subject of widespread speculation, with Conte publicly
criticising Chelsea's transfer policy last season.
Zola, who played for Chelsea from 1996 until 2003, has said he isn't sure if
Conte would remain in charge next season.
Speaking to
Sky Sports at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth,
Zola said: "It's very difficult to say. There have been a lot of issues. For
me, it's sad because he's a manager who has done well.
"It's not healthy. The Premier League is such a competitive league and
everything on the inside at a club needs to be spot on.
"It's a pity, because I repeat, Antonio is a very good manager."
