Ludo Leaves West Ham

KUMB are reporting that West Ham goalkeeping coach, Ludek Miklosko has left the club.

KUMB say that Ludo has been suffering with ill health, which may be why he has left West Ham. They also report that unconfirmed rumours claim former Mansfield and Chelsea goalkeeper Kevin Hitchcock will become West Ham's new goalkeeping coach.


Valon Behrami has called for the West Ham players to show some mental toughness.

"It was deeply disappointing for us (against Bolton). It was one of our worst games with Mr Zola in the last two years. We lost a big chance.

"If you look at the statistics, we run more than other teams - but the big thing is our mentality. So it is on our mind and our attitude. When you make technical mistakes you can work on them. Easy. You just keep working hard.

"But the problem is bigger when it is mental. It is very difficult to work on that. Time is running short. We have to change something as the situation now is not good for us.

"We can do something special but we have to all play 100 per cent. Every player needs to give 100 per cent mentally and physically. That is not so easy. If only one player gives 80 per cent we can't win the game."

"It was already hard and now it will be harder still."
