West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola was in crisis talks with Hammers co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan last night.
The Sunday Mirror says Zola emerged from last night's meeting still in position as West Ham boss.
Sullivan and co-chairman David Gold had lengthy discussions immediately after the defeat to Stoke City in the Upton Park boardroom. It was widely expected that defeat against the Potters would spark the termination of Zola's contract and the departure of assistant boss Steve Clarke.
Zola has three years remaining on his £1.9m a-year contract. Clarke is paid £1.1m a-year.
