Former Chelsea striker Gianfranco Zola has confessed that he would like to manage the club one day.

The Italian, who had a spell in charge of West Ham United in the Premier League, is currently the manager of Watford in the Championship.

Discussing his job at Vicarage Road, the 46-year-old said that he hopes his stint with the Hornets will help him achieve his 'dream' of leading the Blues.

"I have been dreaming of becoming a good manager. One who can lead a team like Chelsea," Zola told France Football.

"I work really hard for it. I do not know if I will [manage Chelsea]. I think I have the abilities but I do not think I am good enough yet."

Zola spent seven years as a player with Chelsea up until 2003.
