Croatia boss Slaven Bilic has ruled out any possibility of him quitting his role as the national team boss, insisting that he is intending to stay as coach for at least a further two more years.
He said: "I am not going to talk about West Ham. I'm staying as the Croatian manager for these next two years. That's my wish. I said that last May - and that is it.
"In football, you never know but my plan is I would like to finish the job with the guys here. I suppose the fact clubs are being linked with me is a sign that we are doing good.
"We have high quality players. Without them, you are lost, you've got no chance. We were very brave in picking the players we did. Like in any country, especially in midfield, you can choose four defensive players or you can be more brave.
"Fortunately we have players who are good at this level, in every part of the pitch, and we are training and getting better. We are playing better and we are winning games and the confidence is going up and it just didn't happen overnight.
"It took us two years and the confidence is now sky high and we know what we have to do. We know without keeping the organisation and the system, we are lost, we are not good enough.
"But we are better players as individuals, we are better as a team because we have more training under our belts. My players are now two years older from when they faced England the first time."
