West Ham and Chelsea have agreed a compensation package and Steve Clarke will join Zola’s backroom staff at Upton Park.
Chelsea assistant coach Steve Clarke has joined West Ham as their new first- team coach after the clubs reached a financial settlement.
The 45-year-old Clarke joins West Ham on a three-year deal, joining up with new boss Gianfranco Zola, after handing in his resignation last Thursday.
Chelsea had sought £5m compensation for the Scot, with West Ham offering £1m, but a compromise has now been agreed.
Clarke spent 20 seasons at Chelsea, both as a player and as a coach.
Zola’s revamp of the Hammers backroom staff has also seen Antonio Pintus, another ex-Chelsea employee who has worked with Juventus, brought in as fitness coach.
Clarke will work at Upton Park alongside fellow first-team coach Kevin Keen and goalkeeping coach Ludek Miklosko.
