New Watford manager Gianfranco Zola has targeted joining fellow Italians Roberto Di Matteo and Roberto Mancini in the Premier League.
Collectively, Di Matteo and Mancini won the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Premier League last season with Chelsea and Manchester City respectively.
Zola was appointed as Sean Dyche's successor on Saturday and, while the 46-year-old admits that he is "already under pressure" to take the Hornets back to the top flight, he says that promotion is not an immediate objective.
"I was so pleased that Robbie did so well at Chelsea because we played a lot of football together and it gave me only pleasure to see him win the FA Cup and Champions League," said Zola.
"And I was very happy for Mancini, too, because he had a tough job last season and, to be honest, I would not have wanted to be in his shoes in that last game. I would have been having a heart attack on live TV.
"I'm already under pressure to follow them. Joining them in the Premier League is one of our targets, but not an immediate one. I've always looked for a challenge and that's what I've got at Watford."
Watford last competed in the highest division of English football during the 2006-2007 season.
