English gold is no bait for Bilic
CROATIA coach Slaven Bilic has turned his back on the Premier League.
Three top-flight clubs were eyeing the former West Ham defender after Croatia failed to qualify for next year’s World Cup finals.
Bilic, 41, is set to sign a two-year contract extension after the Croatian FA convinced him to resist English gold and ignore pleas from Spurs’ Croatia stars Luka Modric and Nico Kranjcar.
Bilic said: “We won’t be resigning and we are eager to carry on our work.
“Only small changes are required for the Euro 2012 campaign.”
