Former Cagliari coach Daniele Arrigoni has denied he's in the frame for the West Ham United job.
Reports emanating from Italy claimed that should Cagliari patron Massimo Cellino emerge victorious in West Ham's ownership battle, he would replace Gianfranco Zola as manager with Arrigoni.
However, Arrigoni, who has not managed since being sacked by Bologna over two years ago, flatly denied the reports, saying: "It's a hoax, Cellino not has contacted me."
