Bilic's response to West Ham rumour

Croatia boss Slaven Bilic has responded to the rumours that West Ham are lining their former defender up as Alan Curbishley's replacement positively, insisting he was flattered by the link. However, Bilic also remains focused on his job with Croatia for Euro 2008.

Bilic said in the Daily Telegraph: "Of course I am flattered - I read it in the papers about some clubs.

"On the other hand, it is getting on my nerves because I have my job to do, my job is with Croatia.

"I think it would be stupid (to look beyond the Euros). In football, you have to enjoy it, be ready for any situation, but you can't plan it.

He added: "Money is important for everyone. But the first thing will be sixth sense, what I really feel and the ambition of the potential clubs or the national team.

"I am not saying that I'm going to leave, I'm really enjoying it big time. I have never enjoyed my job like I am enjoying my job with Croatia. I don't really look to move."
