Gianfranco Zola is set to vacate his role as Chelsea assistant this summer, edging Maurizio Sarri closer to Juventus.
According to Sky Sports, Zola will leave Chelsea when his contract expires this summer and will not be offered an extension.
The former Napoli and Italy forward is a Blues legend and returned to Stamford Bridge last year as Sarri’s No 2.
However, it seems increasingly likely that the Coach will be appointed by Juve once Chelsea lock down a successor.

With that in mind, Zola leaving could be a case of the London club clearing the decks before a replacement is brought in.
That replacement is expected to be Frank Lampard, despite Derby County looking to renew his contract.
