Gianfranco Zola has signed a new contract as manager of West Ham United, with assistant boss Steve Clarke to follow suit early next week.
The Italian officially put pen to paper on his new four-year contract on Saturday night following the team’s home game against Chelsea.
"I'm delighted to have signed the contract," Zola told the club's official website
“I’m very pleased and grateful to the club for looking after me. We have a project that we are taking forward with the coaching staff and with [sporting director] Gianluca Nani and [chief executive] Scott Duxbury.
Duxbury said: "We hope we can achieve success this season but we're very much looking at the long-term with Gianfranco.
“With Steve Clarke soon to sign we know we have the foundation for great success. It is a very bright future for West Ham."
All the details have been agreed with Zola’s assistant Clarke, with the contract to be ratified by the Scot's signature early next week.
