Former Man City manager, Manuel Pellegrini has been appointed as the new head coach of West Ham.
Pellegrini became one of the highest paid managers in the English premier league when he signed a three-year contract, with a total earning of up to £10 million per season.
West Ham co-chairman, David Sullivan, confirmed Pellegrini’s appointment to the press saying that the Chilean tactician was appointed after reviewing his experience and achievements in the Premier league.
Sullivan said: “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.”
