Gianfranco Zola, an Italian former footballer and manager, has a net worth of $36 million and a salary of $36 million.
Gianfranco Zola, born in Oliena, Italy on July 5, 1966, played his first decade as a ‘forward’ in Italy, most notably with Napoli before moving to Chelsea where he was voted the Football Writers’ Player of the Year in the 1996-97 season.
During the 1999-2000 season, Zola was a substitute when manager Bianluca Vialli implemented his squad rotation system, but with the addition of manager Claudio Ranieri in 2000-2001, he benefited from the change and went on to become Chelsea’s second highest appearance-maker that season, just behind Dennis Wise.
At the end of the season, he participated in the FA Cup Final for the third time, taking over from Hasselbaink during the second half of Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Arsenal at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Zola was voted Chelsea’s greatest player ever in 2003.
West Ham United was the first team he managed when he became a manager in 2008.
Watford was assumed by him in July 2012, but he resigned from his role in late 2013.
He is currently in charge of Birmingham City.
