Exile over
The 38-year-old forward played for SSC Napoli, Parma FC and Chelsea FC before returning to his native Sardinia last summer. Zola's first campaign with Cagliari was a huge success as the club ended a four-year exile from Italy's top flight.
Special tribute
Capped 35 times by Italy, Zola won the FA Cup twice and the UEFA European Cup Winners' Cup in 1998 during his time in England. On Sunday 8 August, the veteran will return to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium for a tribute match arranged in his honour.
