He’s signed a deal until the end of the season
He and former England coach Paul Nevin have been appointed to David Moyes’s backroom team.
The pair have agreed initial deals until the end of the season.
Moyes told West Ham’s official website: “We welcome Kevin and Paul to the Club and look forward to working with them. Both have a wealth of experience in the game and I’m sure they will make a very positive contribution between now and the end of the season.
“Kevin obviously knows the Club very well having played here previously, while Paul’s coaching pedigree is excellent. It has taken some time to finalise the coaching staff, but I wanted to make sure I brought in the right people to help us, and both Kevin and Paul are fantastic additions. They will get working right away and we are all completely focused on the job we need to do in the coming weeks and months.”
Nolan made 157 appearances for the Irons, scoring 31 goals.
After leaving West Ham, the 37-year-old had a spell as player-manager at Leyton Orient, and more recently held the same role at Notts County.
Nevin, 50, began his coaching career at Fulham in 1997, having spent his playing career at Shrewsbury, Carlisle, and Yeovil.
He then had spells coaching in New Zealand and Qatar, before working at Norwich City.
Nevin also worked as the Premier League’s head of academy coaching development, before spells with Brighton & Hove Albion and as a member of England’s coaching staff under Gareth Southgate.
Nolan and Nevin began work today and join existing coaches Alan Irvine and Xavi Valero.
