West Ham United have announced the appointment of Gianluca Nani as the club's technical director.

The Italian had held a similar role at Brescia since 1999. He will begin his Hammers role in June.

The East London club said in a statement on the official website: "His responsibilities include being in charge of all aspects of technical development - such as the youth academy, transfers and improving training facilities.

"Nani will start his new role full-time in June but has already begun working with [manager] Alan Curbishley on identifying potential transfer targets for the summer.

"An English speaker, who is fluent in Spanish and has a good knowledge of French, Nani's appointment comes after a six-month search by the board and the manager to find a suitable candidate capable of helping the club move forward on the domestic and European stage.

"Nani's roles at West Ham United will include: enhancing the international scouting network, working with Alan Curbishley and the board on all transfers, developing the youth academy with Tony Carr and improving all aspects of the training ground facilities."
