Rio offers West Ham board his services

RioFormer Hammer Rio Ferdinand has allegedly offered his services to the West Ham board as a defensive coach according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Yesterday, we raised questions about Slav’s backroom staff after the manager himself admitted the intensity of training at Rush green is not up to scratch. Questions have been asked about Slav’s choice of first team coach Edin Turzic and his No 2 Nicola Jurcevic who currently have the responsibility to carry out training on a day to day basis.

Big questions have also been raised about the team’s fitness and the role of 69 year old Milijenk Rak, a former Croatian former long-jumper, who once worked as the trainer for the Croatia national handball team before joining Bilic as a fitness trainer.

Even former Hammer Julian Dicks’ role as assistant coach is another who may come under scrutiny as an inquest is held what is going wrong at Rush green.
