Manuel Pellegrini has been sacked as West Ham manager after just over a year-and-a-half in charge.

West Ham United have announced the sacking of manager Manuel Pellegrini after a dismal first half of the season which has left them fourth from bottom, one point outside the relegation zone.

A club statement read:

"West Ham United can confirm that Manuel Pellegrini has left the Club with immediate effect.

Joint-Chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold, along with the Board and everyone at West Ham United, would like to place on record their thanks to Manuel for his service over the past 18 months.

Mr Sullivan said: “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.

“However, it has become clear that that a change is required to get the Club back on track in line with our ambitions this season. We felt it was necessary to act now in order to give the new manager as much time as possible to try and achieve that goal.”
