Super Slav in Croatia Hot Seat!
The mighty ex West Ham defender has just been named boss of the Croatian national team. Slaven Bilic who established himself as a rock in the West Ham defence next to Julain Dicks, was a firm favourite during his days in the east end before his controversial departure to Everton.
Hammers fans felt disgruntled that a player would leave for a team who had finished lower than themselves in the league under the pretence of joining a bigger club. However he redeemed himself when he attempted to rejoin the Hammers a couple of seasons later only to fail a medical and was forced to return to his native Coratia with Hajuk Split.
Slaven was known as a more intellectual player and has a law degree to add to his football credentials. I wish him the best of luck in his latest challenge.
