Gianfranco Zola has said that he has an "unfinished job" at Watford after missing out on promotion last season.

The Hornets currently sit just outside the playoff places in the Championship table, having taken 21 points from their opening 12 games of the season.

The former Italy international told Sky Sports News: "I am very committed to what I am doing. It feels like I have an unfinished job and I would like to complete it.

"The club has been very supportive so I would like to give them some satisfaction. After the [the playoff semi-finals] I felt 10 years younger. We then got to the [playoff final] in which we were probably favourites and reached a situation where things didn't work.

"I want to master this job. Whether I am going to one day manage a club like Chelsea depends on how good I am going to become. I am not sure Chelsea would choose me because of what I was as a player because that would be totally wrong. The focus for me is to get good in this job and then I will see. But Chelsea will always be a special place for me."

Watford, who have lost two of their last three matches, face Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday evening.
