Bilic is reportedly a target for a number of clubs, including West Ham, where he was a player during 1996-97.

He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I am flattered to see in the papers that there are some clubs interested in me.

"But on the other hand it gets on my nerves because I have my job to do, and I am not thinking of leaving it. I am 100% focused on my job with Croatia."

Last November, the former Hammers and Everton defender told BBC One's Football Focus that he dreams of being a club manager in the Premier League.

But he insisted he was not thinking about it at that time and, after guiding his team to the Euro 2008 finals, he does not appear to be ready to change his mind yet.

Football is a very physical game, and it has to be Slaven Bilic

"I will never enjoy a job as much as I enjoy being in charge of Croatia, and I am very proud," he added.

Bilic also revealed he has been in touch with Arsenal's Croatian striker Eduardo, who is recovering from a broken leg suffered in a challenge with Birmingham's Martin Taylor last month.

"Eduardo is ok, although he is badly injured," said Bilic. "I was with him last Friday and he is improving well but still it is early days.

"But he is convinced - he is so strong in his head, he is a great character and a great guy - and I am convinced that he will come back better than he was."

Bilic also reiterated his belief that Taylor's challenge was badly timed rather than malicious and rejected Fifa president Sepp Blatter's recent claims that football can be too aggressive.

"Tackling is a very important part of the game," said Bilic. "Football is a very physical game, and it has to be.

"I agree that we have to protect players from serious injury, like Eduardo's, but if tackling was stopped, football would be the loser."

Marković i Srebrić odugovlače s novim ugovorom hrvatskom izborniku kako bi ga i poslije Eura zadržali u Rusanovoj, a ponude stižu sa svih strana. Posljednja je stigla iz West Hama, čije je boje branio u sezoni 1996./97. Trenutni manager Alan Curbishley je nanizao tri poraza zaredom rezultatom 0:4...

"Svakako, polaskan sam, čitam u novinama kako su klubovi zainteresirani za mene. No, s druge strane to mi pomalo ide na živce jer imam posao - izbornik sam hrvatske reprezentacije", izjavio je Slaven za Telegraph.

"Bilo bi glupo gledati što će se događati nakon Eura. U nogometu je najvažnije uživati, ali biti spreman na svaku situaciju. Ne može se baš sve isplanirati", dodao je Slaven.

"Novac nije najvažnija stavka. Ono što je meni presudno je 'šesto čulo', ono što zaista osjećam i kakve ambicije imam. Ne govorim da ću otići, zaista uživam u ovome što radim. Nikada nisam toliko uživao sve do ovog trenutka. Ne razmišljam o odlasku", dodao je Bilić.

Izbornik je kratko komentirao i ozljedu Eduarda da Silve te napomenuo kako je uvjeren da je Dudu dovoljno jak u glavi te da će se uskoro vratiti na teren.

Zato te volimo, Slavene, nisam peder ali poljubio bih te
