Bilic refuses another West Ham offer
ByCroatian national football team coach Slaven Bilic has once again rejected an offer from English Premier League side West Ham United to replace its coach Gianfranco Zola.
Bilic told the Daily Star yesterday (Sun) that he still liked West Ham but, despite Croatia’s failure to make it to the World Cup finals, he had agreed to stay on for the Euro 2012 qualifiers.
He added: “I want to qualify for the European Championships, and nothing is going to change that. I am staying for all my country’s qualifying matches. The players, the staff and the majority of fans wanted me to stay and that is why I decided to carry on. I’m proud to manage my country’s team. I love this job.”
Bilic confirmed that West Ham had been trying to reach him for some time but he insisted nothing could make him break his commitment to the Croatian team.
