Zola: Chelsea is my past

Zola: Chelsea is my past

10 September 2008 - 09:57

As Gianfranco Zola is set to be confirmed as the new coach of West Ham, the Italian admitted the move was a very tough decision to make, and that Chelsea was his past and West Ham is his future.

  • Chelsea want to sign Lyon star to replace Jadon Sancho
  • Arsenal want to bring Aymeric Laporte back to England

  • "I only know one way to play: on the floor, attacking football, the way things should be done," Zola told the Daily Mail.



    "I want to excite people, that is why we play, isn't it? This is a new era, a new chapter for me. I was an offensive player, who only knew one way to play. That is how my teams will always play.



    "I know there is a rivalry between Chelsea and West Ham, but that is not a problem. My playing career is in my past.



    "This is a new adventure for me. I spent seven years at Chelsea and they were seven of the best years of my career.



    "I loved playing there, but the fans must understand that I have a new career now and my playing career is in the past."
