Croatia boss Slaven Bilic has signed a new 2 year deal that has put an end to rumours that several Premiership clubs are considering a move for the former West Ham defender. Man City and the Hammers had both been linked with a move for the coach.

  • Chelsea midfielder wants to play in Olympic games
  • Arsenal favourites to sign French winger ahead of Chelsea

  • "If I wanted to go I could as I had really great offers from clubs that have approached me but I decided I am going to stay," he said.



    "I told them (the Croatian Football Federation) three or four weeks ago I am going to sign whatever they give me," he added.



    "It wasn't like a negotiation. I told them I will sign a blank paper because I've decided to stay.



    "I'm staying because I love my country and, despite really good offers that I have had, I think two years is maybe too little to stay as a national team coach."
