DONE DEAL : Manuel Pellegrini named West Ham manager on three-year deal

Date:

West Ham United have announced that former Manchester City Boss Manuel Pellegrini has been appointed as their new manager on a three-year deal.

Pellegrini takes over at the London Stadium after another disappointing season, who flirted with relegation for much of the campaign before ultimately finishing in 13th place under the temporary custody of David Moyes.
In a statement, West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan said of the appointment:

“I am delighted to welcome Manuel Pellegrini to West Ham United. He is one of the world’s most respected football coaches and we look forward to working with him. It was important that we appointed someone with knowledge and experience of the Premier League, who already has an understanding – not only of the teams and players we face – but of West Ham United and our ambitions.

“Manuel brings a reputation for attacking football and getting the best out of his players. We believe he will attract new talent to the London Stadium as well as improving the current squad.

“Above all, he is a winner, who knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level and is driven to continue that success.

“Manuel is the first West Ham United manager to have a Premier League title on his CV, and we believe that his experience, quality and proven record of taking teams forward quickly will ensure that he is successful here.”

Pellegrini returns to the Premier League two years after he was let go by Manchester City, with whom he won the Premier League title and two League Cup trophies.
