Sacked West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says he's ready to jump back into management.

It's been six weeks since Bilic was axed.

"It is good and necessary to rest," he told the Daily Mail.

"People think you'd want to use the spare time to do something big, like walk from the North Pole to South Pole. No, it is about having time and the space in your head for simple things with family and friends. And in between, even enjoy that feeling of being a little bit bored."

He continued: "It's always better to go into a job at the start of the season but football can't be perfect. If the right one comes next week, it's something that comes."
