Paul Konchesky has been named new West Ham United womens manager, following the departure of Olli Harder.

Former Hammer Konchesky – who made 70 appearances for the Club between 2005-2007 and has been assistant to Harder since May 2021 – has agreed a two-year deal.

Konchesky, who prior to his role with the women's team spent three years working in the West Ham United Academy, said: “This is a very proud moment for me.

"I'm really honoured to have been appointed. I'm relishing both the challenge and the opportunity that comes with this role. West Ham is really close to my heart – it was a dream to play for the Club and now to be in this position is something I am really excited about.

"I'm looking forward to getting started."
