West Ham United have confirmed that Slaven Bilic, Gianfranco Zola, Roberto Donadoni and Michael Laudrup are all on the shortlist to replace Alan Curbishley as the manager at Upton Park.

Hammers director Mike Lee has revealed that Zola and Donadoni have already been interviewed for the post while Laudrup will have his chance to impress on Monday.

However, the Hammers have not been given permission to speak to current Croatia boss Bilic.

Lee told the BBC: "There's no favourite at the moment but we've set up a proper selection process.

"We've been surprised and pleased by the number of applications we've had and we're moving towards a short shortlist and ideally have a manager in place in time for the West Brom match next week.

"Slaven Bilic could potentially be on that shortlist but it depends very much upon his availability. If for whatever reason he was not available until January in terms of working with us I'm afraid that will rule him out.

"We have a very strong shortlist and it's going to be a tough decision with some exciting candidates.

"From the meetings that have taken place so far, the two that have really shone have been Donadoni and Zola."

Lee has also said that the club will not be appointing Gerard Houllier, John Collins or former Ajax boss Martin Olsen.
