Curbishley to be named West Ham
manager
tribalfooball.com - December 12, 2006
West Ham United are expected to name Alan Curbishley as new manager
inside the next 48 hours.
BBC Sport says talks are reported to have been extremely positive
and Curbishley will take the Hammers helm before the end of the
week.
New West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson has moved quickly for
Curbishley after sacking Alan Pardew on Monday.
Curbishley is thought to have turned down the opportunity to manage
the Hammers in 2001 when he was still at Charlton.
He has been out of football after leaving his post at The Valley in
May and has since been linked with Aston Villa, West Brom, Leeds
and Norwich.
It is also understood Curbishley will be joined at Upton Park by
his former Charlton assistants Mervyn Day and Keith Peacock, who is
already on West Ham's staff.
And by a quirk of fate his first match in charge will be against
Manchester United, the opponents for his final match as Addicks
boss.
Alan Curbishley is an excellent manager hope it can help west ham
turn thing around starting from the 1st game onwards
