West Ham boss Grant will not have Brit as new No2

West Ham United boss Avram Grant has ruled out appointing a Brit as his new assistant manager.

Grant maintains he will look to replace Zeljko Petrovic with another foreign number two, in order to help balance input on a squad which no contains so many non-British players.

"We have a project and a vision here at West Ham," the former Portsmouth and Chelsea boss said.

"Our target at the end is to put West Ham in a good position with a good football style, with good young players.

"Part of this is to build the coaching staff and from time to time we will add to the staff. This is the future of the game."
