Reade: ‘Zola can’t have too many complaints if he’s sacked’

Reading today’s Daily Mirror, columnist Brian Reade claims that Gianfranco Zola’s future as Birmingham City manager hangs by a thread.

He wrote- ‘There are rumours going around the Midlands that if Newcastle do to Birmingham City what they are capable of, then Gianfranco Zola will be sacked’.

Reade continued- ‘And seeing as he’s only won twice in 18 games and taken Gary Rowett’s side from sixth to 17th, he can’t have too many complaints if it happens’.

Reade also went on to say that Zola should not be used as an example of Italian coaches in England. He said- ‘But let’s not use Zola as a stick to beat foreign managers, especially Italians. Because if, as seems certain, Chelsea win this years title, it will mean that four of the last seven Premier League winning coaches have been Italian’.
