Sullivan confident Zola not unsettled by West Ham axe for Nani

West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan is confident the departure of technical director Gianluca Nani will not unsettle manager Gianfranco Zola.

The Mirror says Sullivan maintains Nani's departure will not affect his relationship with Zola, which he claims is fine.

Sullivan speaks to Zola only once or twice a week and has always deliberately avoided visiting the training ground for fear of encroaching on managers.

Sullivan also feels Zola has been normal with him despite his controversial blast at the club's players before the Birmingham game when he proposed shock pay-cuts.
