Gianfranco Zola has been sacked as coach of
relegation-threatened Cagliari after just 10 games and less than three
months in charge of the Serie A club.
The former West Ham and Watford manager was appointed in
December to replace Zdenek Zeman, who is among a list of candidates -
which also includes Claudio Ranieri and Walter Zenga - who are
reportedly in line to replace him.
In a statement, the Sardinia
club said: "Cagliari announce that Gianfranco Zola and his staff have
been relieved of the technical leadership of the first team."
"It was a decision which was taken reluctantly against a great man
who has written unforgettable pages in the history of Cagliari, bringing
brilliance and giving international prestige to the land of Sardinia."
The former Napoli, Chelsea and Italy forward, who
finished his playing career at the club in 2005, managed just two wins
and two draws from his 10 games in charge, leaving Cagliari joint 18th
in the 20-team table, four points adrift of safety.
