clipped from www.guardian.co.uk Gianfranco Zola has pledged to bring attacking football back to West Ham West Ham have promised to back their new manager, Gianfranco Zola, in the transfer market despite the cutbacks which contributed to Alan Curbishley's resignation from the club last week. The Italian took over at Upton Park yesterday and was told he will get the chance to start "building a team around him" when the transfer window reopens in January. The club's caretaker manager, Kevin Keen, will take charge at West Bromwich Albion tomorrow. The 41-year-old, the reserve team coach under Curbishley, is likely to be retained while the Italian Antonio Pintus was yesterday confirmed as the new fitness coach. A former Stamford Bridge team-mate of Zola, Steve Clarke, has been linked with a move from Chelsea to Upton Park as assistant manager.
