The club have identified the former Hammers defender as one of their top targets to succeed Alan Curbishley at Upton Park.

But Bilic told The Sun: "I'm not going anywhere. West Ham is my club, I have feelings for them, but I won't go. And I won't go to Newcastle."

He added: "Any club from England is a great opportunity - not for money, honestly. For me it's about ambition. It's about working in England, a country you know I adore."

Bilic has impressed in his role with Croatia, leading his country to Euro 2008 at the expense of England last year.

Bilic, who turns 40 this week, is currently preparing his side to face England again in a World Cup qualifier in Zagreb on Wednesday.

He added: "My answer is clear. No, I wouldn't go as things stand.

"I had many offers in the period between our win at Wembley last November until I signed a new deal in May.

"I decided to stay. Whether that's good for me only God knows."
