West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has been told he has two matches in order to save his job at the club after what has been a poor start to the season for all involved.

The pressure on the Croat’s shoulders must be immense, but he has insisted he will never walk away from the job and is here to do all he can until his time is up.

Bilic finds himself as the favourite to be the next Premier League manager to get his marching orders, and many rumours have began to circulate about him ‘losing the dressing room’ at the London Stadium.

The Hammers are out of the relegation zone on goal difference only, and boos from the fans during and after games are beginning to creep in more often than not.

However, Bilic insists he has never thought about leaving West Ham, and says he is focused on the task ahead.

“[I am] never, never, never walking away. I never walked away in my life,” Bilic said.

“It is my job and a job I like to do especially in a place that I feel, after my hometown, is like few other places, you are treated special. I played here and all that.

“Do I need it? Let’s not be that, how can I say, that black. It is a great job.

“You ask me about Koeman, there are always three, four, five managers in those positions and I’m definitely one of them.

“Does it make me lose my focus? No, it gives you even more. I never gave up in my career, no matter in which way of life, as a parent, as a friend, as a manager.

“That’s my biggest strength, to be strong in hard times. Now I’m having a hard time, yes I am. That doesn’t scare me.”
