West Ham has announced the sack of Manuel Pellegrini from his role as head coach of the Premier League side after a run of disappointing results, the latest being a 1-2 loss to Leicester City.
A statement on the club’s website confirming the sack reads, “It is with great disappointment that we’ve had to make this decision.
Manuel is a gentleman and it has been a real pleasure to work with someone of his calibre.
