Gianfranco Zola had admitted that he is having to learn from his mistakes.
The Hammers boss has endured a tough start to his managerial reign, with his Hammers side having gone seven games without a win and having slid perilously close to the relegation zone.However he remains confident that he can turn around the team's fortunes - starting at Sunderland this weekend.
"I know that this is a big risk. I am putting myself on the line," Zola admitted. "All the goodness I have done is on the line and I'm going away from Chelsea to another Premier League club, but I like the challenge.
"The bigger the job the more responsibility and attention you get, so every mistake is in the spotlight.
"I'm not afraid of making mistakes. I became a better player by missing penalties and crying after that, but it's all part of the process of becoming better.
"I know that there may be a risk but can you imagine the reception I'm going to get here from the club? It's going to be fantastic. That's what I am thinking about."
