Gianfranco Zola says no decisions have been made about his future, amid reports linking him to a possible return to Chelsea to work under Maurizio Sarri.
Zola is rumoured to be in consideration for a role in Sarri's backroom staff, with the former Napoli boss understood to be in negotiation over a deal to take over at Stamford Bridge.
A source has told Sky Sports News that Sarri's agent has been in London to finalise a move, after reports in Italy claimed Chelsea are set to pay £4.4m to release Sarri from Napoli. With Antonio Conte still in charge, the Blues are not commenting on the reports.
Zola, who made over 200 appearance for Chelsea, told SuperSport: "There is a lot of rumours about me at the moment and nothing has happened. And we'll see what happens in the future.
"I don't know. I was afraid you were going to ask me this. Really, I don't know.
"But honestly, at the moment it is only talking. Nothing is decided."
Zola started his coaching career as Italy U21 assistant manager before taking over at West Ham and Watford. After roles at Cagliari and Qatar side Al-Arabi, he returned to England in 2016 to manage Birmingham City but resigned after winning only twice in 24 matches.
