Croatia coach Slaven Bilic has shutdown talk of taking the West Ham United job.

Hammers chiefs David Gold and David Sullivan want the Croatia coach to replace Gianfranco Zola, who looks certain to be axed at Upton Park after his side crashed to another disastrous defeat at home to Stoke.

But Bilic, 41, told the Daily Star Sunday: "I love West Ham very much but that job is not for me right now. Not today. I want to qualify for the European Championships and nothing is going to change that. I am staying for all my country's qualifiers."
