Lazio coach Edy Reja isn't bothered by talk of Gianfranco Zola being a candidate for his job.

The Chelsea legend has been linked with Lazio in recent days.

"There have been situations of which we have spoken (himself and Lotito). There has been an exchange of views, but that chapter is closed," Reja told Sky Italia.

"How I coped with the rumours linking Zola to my bench? I haven't had any problems.

"Rumours are going around but I'm calm.

"Gianfranco is a friend of mine, and we spoke. I would have been happy and I will be happy if in the distant future Zola arrives on the Lazio bench."
