West Ham United boss Avram Grant welcomes the pressure that comes with managing the famous London club.
The former Chelsea and Portsmouth manager is confident he can meet the challenge.
Grant told whufc.com: "I hope that there is a pressure. Pressure in football is good.
"People speak about pressure like it is a negative word. But pressure pushes you to achieve something. So we will put the pressure on me and the players to achieve our targets.
"In football, I have said to the players, every year we need to improve and the target is to improve yourself from the beginning and prove that you can do things. This is what I like about [Manchester United manager] Alex Ferguson, their fourth goal against Wigan [last season], he is jumping up like a little child. But he always wants to improve himself.
"The minute you come to football and think you have proved yourself enough, it is the first step down."
