Sannino appointed Zola's replacement at Watford

After a long career playing in the Italian lower leagues, Sannino embarked on a coaching career in his homeland including spells at Siena, Palermo and Chievo Verona in Serie A.

Former Italy, Parma and Chelsea striker Zola left Watford just over six months after they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League, having slumped to 13th place this term.
