Premier League
Manuel Pellegrini Fired as West Ham Manager
Losing 1-2 at home to Leicester City has cost West Ham coach Manuel Pellegrini the job.
Immediately after the defeat at the London Olympic Stadium, the leaders of the London club made the decision to dismiss the 66-year-old Chilean.
“West Ham United announce that coach Manuel Pellegrini has left the club with immediate effect.”
With this short message on Twitter, the London club “unloads” the technician who has accumulated just 8 points in his last 13 league matches.
As a result, West Ham are ranked 17th in the Premier League with 10 points.
