West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola has cooled talk of working in Italy's Serie A.

He said: "I think things are going well because the team played decent football from the start and is constantly adding a little more. In terms of results, we got off to a very good start.

"I never regretted the decision. I am throwing myself into it and am happy to have accepted this challenge."

When asked if he would become a Serie A coach, Zola was less enthusiastic.

"I don't know, being a Coach in Italy is very different to doing it in England. I won't say anything more for fear of contradicting myself.

"I do hope to have fun here and repay West Ham for their faith in me, investing in me despite my lack of experience."
