Zola agrees new West Ham contract

LONDON: West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola has agreed a new four-year contract with the Premier League club, according to a report on Saturday.

Hammers chief executive Scott Duxbury told Sky Sports News that Zola and his assistant Steve Clarke have both completed talks over new four-year deals, which should be signed within the next 48 hours.

Zola and Clarke have turned West Ham's season around after taking over from Alan Curbishley in September, leading the east London club into seventh place.
