Zola top of Hammers list?

It is understood that Gianfranco Zola is top of the list to take charge of West Ham United. After Alan Curbishley's departure from Upton Park last week, several names have been mooted as possible replacements - but Chelsea legend Zola looks to be the favorite.

It is understood that Roberto Donadoni is also an option for West Ham, but the Hammers would prefer to bring Zola in after a hugely impressive interview.

Michael Laudrup was also suggested as an option for West Ham, but it appears that the Dane would prefer to join Spartak Moscow.

Slaven Bilic - currently coach of Croatia - is the fan favorite; but it appears he would prefer to stay in his current role.
