West Ham skipper Kevin Nolan says he would relish the chance to lead the team out at the Olympic Stadium when they move there in 2016.

If Nolan does not lead the Hammers team out onto the field in Stratford he may well be in the dugout, with the midfielder revealing he would like to go into management when he hangs up his boots. "I've always thought since I was a young lad that I'd love to be a manager," he added. "I think everyone just expects it from me now - all the lads in the changing room say, 'You can see you're going to be a gaffer' but you never know, do you? You never know if you're going to get that chance. "I'm going to be taking my badges to know that if there's anything out there when I do finish then I can have a crack at it. "I know that I'll always have Sam on the end of the phone if I ever needed any help or advice."
