Kevin Hitchcock is set to be named new West Ham United goalkeeper coach.

The Mirror says West Ham legend Ludo Miklosko has been axed as the Hammers' goalkeeping coach - in a behind-the-scenes move that will shock fans.

Giant Miklosko was a key part of Gianfranco Zola's staff but he is being moved out and will be replaced by the experienced Hitchcock.

Miklosko was a hero as a player for the Hammers and a popular face around the club when he returned as a coach, but he has been shifted out in a surprise shake-up.

Hitchcock was at Chelsea at the same time as Zola and coach Steve Clarke, but tongues may also wag about his links with Mark Hughes - the boss tipped as a potential future manager at Upton Park.
