West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola admits he is motivated to succeed and wants everybody at the club pulling in the same direction.

The Hammers managed a 2-0 win over Birmingham on Wednesday night and after the first half goal from Alessandro Diamanti, a group of players dived on the coach in a show of faith for the Italian manager.

Zola said it was simply an emotional celebration after some turbulent times at Upton Park this season.

"It was just a celebration because we are going through a difficult moment and we want to stick together, there was no other message than we are together - the players and the staff," Zola said.

"We want the team to succeed. We are in a position we don't like and want to improve it and that's the way I took it.

"We care about this club and want to be successful. It was a good gesture and I appreciated it.

"It means we are all going in the same direction and it is vital to do well."
