McClaren not interested in West Ham job

FORMER England manager Steve McClaren has ruled himself out of the running to replace Avram Grant as West Ham manager.

Grant was sacked by Hammers co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan following Sunday’s 3-2 defeat at Wigan, which condemned the London club to relegation to the npower Championship.

McClaren, who was sacked by German club Wolfsburg earlier this season following a successful spell in Holland with FC Twente, was thought to be among the favourites to replace Israeli Grant.
