Gianfranco Zola enjoyed taking charge of his first training session as West Ham United manager yesterday.

Assisted by Kevin Keen and new fitness coach Antonio Pintus, Zola put a full squad of players through their paces. Dean Ashton trained despite having stitches in his ear against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, while youngsters Freddie Sears, Kyel Reid and James Tomkins all looked determined to impress in the Italian's first session.
