Fans want Chelsea legend Zola to step in to replace sacked Scolari at the Bridge
Chelsea supporters want Gianfranco Zola to replace axed boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.That is the claim of former Blues defender Ron Harris after the club sensationally sacked the Brazilian.Chelsea legend Zola has impressed at West Hamwith No2 Steve Clarke, who worked under Scolari at Stamford Bridge. Dream duo: Gianfranco Zola (left) and Steve Clarke have worked wonders at West Ham this season 'I think that if it was a choice with the supporters, 90 per cent would like to get Zola and Stevie Clarke,' said Harris.Former Chelsea boss John Hollins believes Scolari failed to adapt to club management.Despite huge success with both Brazil and Portugal, the Barclays Premier League proved too tough for Scolari.Hollins, who managed the Blues between 1985 and 1988, said: 'You can't knock him for what he's done internationally but club football is a different ball game.True Blue: Gianfranco Zola is a legend at Stamford Bridge 'I feel he couldn't adapt to the every day thing. Internationally he's had time to look at a game and pick a team but Chelsea is instant.'Every day is very, very busy and I have to say I don't think there was enough in there from him to carry it through.'He had to have the players every day - some players have massive egos, it's the case all over the country.'But Chelsea are a big side and he had to pick the team that could win a match.'Hollins insists Chelsea's season is not finished as they chase glory in the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.He said: 'Of course the season can be saved.'All the equipment is there but its how you juggle with it and adjust it.'Someone coming in has to be positive and get that winning back into the pattern again. Chelsea need that, they need to lift the supporters.'Mickey Thomas, a former Chelsea player, reckons they will target a manager already working in the Premier League.'I think it will be in this country, it might be a former player.' he said.'There was speculation over the weekend and the fans want Zola, that's a possibility although I know he's in charge at West Ham.'I don't think they want to make a mistake again. I think they probably have someone in mind already, I don't think they've done this quickly.'I think they've thought about it for the last month or so and I'm sure we'll see, within the next 24 hours, a new manager at Chelsea. 'I think it's going to be a very quick turnaround here, I really believe it might be a former player, but I have no inkling.' SACKED!
