Zola to get West Ham job

Italy and Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola is set to be named as the replacement for Alan Curbishley as coach of West Ham United. Zola has been the favorite for the job for over a week, and the Hammers have offered Zola a 3 year deal.

West Ham's technical director Gianluca Nani had told his board of directors that he wanted to bring Zola to the club, and the deal now looks set to be completed this afternoon.

Despite a relatively good start to the season for the Hammers, the club parted ways with Alan Curbishley and have been on the look out for a new coach.

Slaven Bilic was linked with the role, whilst Roberto Donadoni also ruled himself out of the running.

Zola could now be in charge for this weekend's game against West Brom on the 13th of September.
