Speaking on radio this morning, the Chelsea legend believes that there is no better left-back in the world at the moment than the 29-year-old.
Gianluca Zambrotta was a star for Italy as they won the World Cup on Sunday.
Chelsea have been touted as looking for a new left-back.
Assier del Horno has come up short of expectations and Arsenal's Ashley Cole is once again rumoured to be on his way to Stamford Bridge.
But Zola's opinions still count and Zambrotta could yet be gracing the blue of Chelsea as well as his country come August.
The Juvemtus defender could be come available should his club, embroiled in ref-fixing allegations find themselves relegated.
