Clarke Could be West Ham Manager

Steve Clarke has followed Gianfranco Zola in signing a new four year contract with West Ham and, in an interesting development, could be managing West Ham for some games next season.

According to The Daily Express if West Ham qualify for Europe next season then Gianfranco Zola cannot sit on the bench or be in the dressing room. Zola does not have the required Pro Licence and West Ham have agreed with the Premier League, FA and UEFA to put Steve Clarke’s name down as their head coach, as part of the application process necessary to register the club as eligible for European competition.

The Express say that the arrangement has even been included in Steve Clarke's new contract.
