There have been claims of tension between Conte and Napoli President Aurelio de Laurentiis.
But Zola told Il Corriere Dello Sport: “I am not so convinced that Conte will leave, especially if it were going well. I would try to keep him at all costs: Antonio wins and creates value. I really like him. For the love I have for Napoli, I hope they find an agreement.
“Roma? It's not a simple game … But I have a little idea that (Claudio) Ranieri will do another year. A provocation. But he would earn it, he is doing his job so well.”
Zola also commented on the impact of Scott McTominay in Napoli and stated: “McTominay is the player who made the difference. My friends in Manchester cannot believe that they have sold him and for that amount.
“I am sorry, but it is one of the most unfortunate decisions. However, with Parma, Lukaku can make the difference. Because of his type and attitude, he is the decisive factor in the game and the team.”
