West Ham manager

Just heard on Setanta that it's Gianfraca Zola!

 

Gianfranco Zola has vowed to bring attacking football to West Ham United and does not expect his past association with Chelsea to be a problem.

Former Italy international Zola is expected to be confirmed as West Ham's new manager on Wednesday following Alan Curbishley's resignation last week.
Zola, who is currently part of his country's Under 21 setup, will be returning to the Premier League five years after leaving Chelsea following an illustrious playing stint at Stamford Bridge.

His connections with the Blues have prompted concerns to be raised by Hammers fans regarding his suitability for the Upton Park job.
But the 42-year-old believes his Chelsea days are firmly in the past and he is relishing the chance to manage the Hammers.


yep looks like i think thats a risk from west ham but good luck to them and zola

 

It all depends on the staff he brings in methinks.

 

Class player. That goal against Norwich he scored was amazing (the flick from the corner).

 

It was

I can remember back as far as his Parma days when on channel 4 and he was a class act back then.

 

Ah the flying backheel


classic zola goal, he is like henrik to the chelsea supporters, a club legend and a good guy all round

 

lucas neill, lee bowyer, kieron dyer and craig bellamy

lets hope there is no more fights zola would have no chance of splitting up this lot

 

True, he seems too nice a guy to split up that lol lol.

 

Good luck to Zola, always liked him. Bit of flair. A mates a WHU fan too, so good luck.

 

he will need to bring in an assistant manager like marcel desailly with players like that ready to kick off in the dressing room (that desailly is a tank)



mind you i dont see any of them 4 backing down to no one and no golf trips for bellamy!! if he goes he gets the plastic clubs

 

Desailly is too nice a guy as well, they need some angry * who won't take * from bellamy.

 

Somebody like Roy Keane???

 

wonder what the chelski fans will make of this.

 

What does this matter where he used to play? If he can bring success to another club what does it matter what side of London or wherever he goes, who the * cares?

 

Good luck to him west ham i think are taking a huge risk but yet again it could pay off for them.
