Croatia coach Bilic rules out move to Fulham

LONDON, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- Croatia coach Slaven Bilic ruled out the possibility to direct the struggling English Premier League club Fulham, local media reported Sunday.

Fulham stood fourth from bottom with 14 points from 18 games so far and coach Lawrie Sanchez was sacked last week.

Former West Ham and Everton defender Bilic, whose side beat England last month to end their Euro 2008 qualification hopes, had been linked to the Craven Cottage post.

However, Bilic was quoted as saying, "There is absolutely no chance of me taking another job before Euro 2008."
