Former West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola is reportedly with Lazio to discuss the possibility of taking the reins at the Stadio Olimpico.

Gazzetta dello Sport have claimed that Zola is the Rome side's main target to replace Edy Reja, who recently announced his decision to leave the club.

Chelsea's temporary manager Roberto Di Matteo is also believed to be another option for Lazio, but Zola will reportedly meet with the capital club on Saturday.

The 45-year-old, whose last job was in England with West Ham before being sacked in May 2010, was already on Lazio's shortlist when Reja almost left the club in February.

Lazio finished fourth in this season's Serie A, securing a place in the Europa League group stage.
