Report: West Ham United appoint Slaven Bilic as new manager

West Ham United have appointed Slaven Bilic as the club's new manager, according to reports.

The Hammers parted company with Sam Allardyce last month following a disappointing second half to the campaign.

David Gold, West Ham's co-chairman, dropped a hint earlier on Monday claiming that the board were close to making an appointment.

A post from football agent Muzzi Ozcan later emerged on Twitter claiming that Bilic had agreed terms with the Hammers.

West Ham has agreed terms with Slaven Bilić wish my good friend a great season at West Ham ! And welcome to the East End !

Bilic, 46, has most recently managed Besiktas and was famously in charge of Croatia when they prevented England from reaching Euro 2008.
