Emery snubs West Ham for Sevilla stay

Sevilla boss Unai Emery has dismissed reports that he will join West Ham United by signing a contract extension with the Spanish club.

Speculation had mounted that the 43-year-old would succeed Sam Allardyce in East London after guiding the Rojiblancos to Europa League glory last week.

Napoli, who lost coach Rafael Benitez to Real Madrid, were also reportedly keen but Emery has drawn a line under the rumours by committing his future until 2017.

Emery's side beat Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk 3-2 in last month's final for what was his and the club's second successive title.

He joined the club from Spartak Moscow in 2013.
