West Ham appoint Bilic.


Slaven Bilic has been appointed as the new manager of West Ham on a three-year contract to replace Sam Allardyce.
The 46-year-old Croatian, who becomes the 15th full-time
manager in the club's 120-year history, joins the Hammers having left his previous job as head coach of Besiktas at the end of the season.
Bilic has an affinity with West Ham supporters having played over 50 times for the club during the 1996-97 season, and had
maintained a strong desire to manage in the Premier League.
"I’m really glad to be back with West Ham United,” Bilic said. "It’s
in the Premier League, which is among the best in the world. It’s a big challenge and you are competing with the best and what better club to do it with than West Ham.
"I remember West Ham as a special club. I love these kinds of
special clubs. My last club, Besiktas, was that kind of club. It’s not
about the size – West Ham is big Club – there is something
special about them - they are a cult clubs."It is a great place to
play and I felt like I was at home. It is a big privilege and a big
responsibility to now be manager and I hope that I will prove it to the Board, players and fans. My first priority when choosing a club is to look at its ambitions.
"When I spoke to the Chairmen and Karren Brady, they made clear that it is not only the fantastic new Stadium we are moving into,but they showed their determination and ambition to make what is a big club even bigger. I saw their determination and passion that they want to do that. That was the number one reason. I could feel that they really wanted me so it was an easy choice.“I would say to the West Ham fans that I will give my best and together we will achieve great things.”
