West Ham Close In on Technical Director?

Amidst rumours that West Ham are close to announcing who their new technical director will be former Holland international Stan Valckx has denied it is him. Valckx was at the West Ham game on Saturday which led to speculation that he was going to be appointed to the vacant position at West Ham.

Valckx, on being asked if he was about to be given the job, responded,

"Are they suggesting that I will become the new technical director of West Ham?” Valckx asked Elf Voetbal. At this moment that is not the situation.

“It is correct, however, that I was there at the game. Why? I want to say nothing further concerning that.”
