West Ham United have appointed former Chelsea No.1 Kevin Hitchcock as their new goalkeeping coach following the departure of Ludek Miklosko.
Hitchcock, who held a similar post at Blackburn and Manchester City, will take charge of coaching West Ham's No.1 and England hopeful Robert Green as the Hammers look to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Hitchcock joined West Ham on loan from Chelsea in 1993 while still a player but failed to make an appearance.
A statement on the club's website said: "West Ham United can confirm that coach Ludek Miklosko has left the club with immediate effect.
"Kevin Hitchcock, who spent time on loan at the club back in March 1993, has been appointed as a goalkeeping coach until the end of the season.
"With respect to all parties involved, the club will be making no further comment until the terms of his departure are confirmed."
Miklosko made 375 appearances for the Hammers during a seven-year period at the club before joining the coaching staff at Upton Park in 2001.
