Roberto Mancini has ruled himself out of the running for the vacant manager's job at West Ham, Sky Sports News understands.

The former Leicester man was mentioned as one of West Ham's targets as they seek a replacement for Alan Curbishley.

However, it appears that Gianfranco Zola is leading the race to succeed Curbishley at Upton Park after impressing Hammers officials during his interview.

Mancini has been out of work since his acrimonious departure from Inter Milan at the end of last season.

The former Italian international has admitted no new job is in the offing.

"I am waiting for something to happen," Mancini told the Italian media.

"But there is nothing on the horizon."
