West Ham sack assistant coach Petrovic

Troubled Premier League club West Ham United have sacked assistant coach Zeljko Petrovic ahead of this weekend's make or break fixture with Wigan Athletic.

The Hammers board have decided to part company with Petrovic, who only joined the club four months ago, and are now searching for a replacement.

Ex-Hammers striker Paolo di Canio has been linked with the role as has former Brentford boss and Reading coach Wally Downes.
