To bring you a little cheer after a host of managerial changes over the past couple of days, we hope you might be entertained a little by this selection of Gianfranco Zola jokes after the Watford board accepted the diminutive Italian’s offer to resign.

Yes, he’s a legend and a gentleman… Yes, his parting letter to Watford fans was very beautiful and very touching…

In truth it was quickly apparent that so many had wanted Gianfranco to succeed, it would be a struggle to get the content needed for this article together.

But, once again for our purposes here, just for this brief moment, I invite you to put aside any sympathy or even that sense of regret which some may feel.

For now, however much one may miss him already, let’s just enjoy the Gianfranco Zola jokes Twitter has offered us after his Watford resignation:

Just read Zola's statement. Touchin stuff. His departing quote was: "…in the end it was a case of too much peroni, not enough pasta." #P&P
