Former Notts County boss Kevin Nolan wins new West Ham deal

Former Notts County manager Kevin Nolan has signed a new deal to remain on the coaching staff at West Ham.

The ex-Hammers player has done a fine job assisting David Moyes at the Iron in helping them avoid relegation last season.

Fellow coach Paul Nevin has also signed a new deal while Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce's return to the club  has also been confirmed.

West Ham boss Moyes said: “I’m really pleased to welcome Stuart back to West Ham United. He did a fantastic job for me in our first spell at the Club together. Stuart is a highly-respected figure throughout the game, who will bring another dimension to the coaching set-up here.

“I believe he will complement Kevin and Paul really well – both of whom have been brilliant support for me alongside Alan Irvine of course – and will help us get the very best out of the players.

“He will start immediately and I’ve no doubt he will be a great asset to us on the training pitch and in the dressing room next season.”

Nolan was sacked by previous Notts County owner Alan Hardy  in August 2019 just months  after he did a fantastic job of guiding them to the League Two play-offs.

His departure was widely regarded as the catalyst for the club's relegation from the Football League with many supporters feeling he left too early.
