Former Napoli forward Gianfranco Zola admits to having stolen football secrets off ex-San Paolo team-mate Diego Maradona.<\/p>\n

Zola arrived at Napolito team up with the Argentinian legend in an era when they were the dominant force in Serie A.<\/p>\n

“Maradona? You couldn’t match him, but you could learn a lot from him. I did not play much, but I did learn plenty from him at Napoli,” Zola told Radio Centro Suono Sport.<\/p>\n

“He was the best striker in the world and I was so lucky to have played with him.<\/p>\n

“Some of the things he used to do you couldn’t even dream about. It was absurd.”<\/p>\n

Zola, who managed West Ham in the Premier League, said he would consider a coaching role at an Italian club in the future.<\/p>\n

“I am learning to be able to [coach in Italy] and so it’s something I won’t exclude,” he said.\ufeff<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
