09/05/2008 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roberto Mancini is the latest candidate to be distanced from the managerial vacancy at West Ham United after claims from his agent that the Italian coach is not currently seeking work.
Mancini, 43, was fired by Inter Milan at the end of last season despite securing three successive Serie A titles.
The former Italy international striker's name has been strongly linked with the Hammers, who are seeking a new manager following Alan Curbishley's decision to resign on Wednesday.
But Mancini's agent claims that, although his client would like to work in England, he remains unavailable until his compensation package with the Italian champions is finalized.
The news comes hard on the heels of fellow frontrunner Slaven Bilic claiming he is in no rush to walk out on his current job with the Croatia national team.
"Until his contract situation is resolved with Inter, Roberto Mancini won't talk to other clubs. That's the way he is," agent Giorgio De Giorgis told Italian radio.
"Roberto loves England and London in particular, something which he has never denied."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
