Alan Shearer has told Match of the Day, which was broadcast on BBC One on 21st May, that Slaven Bilic could not have done much more at West Ham United this season.

West Ham have finished the campaign in 11th place in the Premier League table, after winning against Burnley on the final day.

The Hammers have ultimately failed to build on the momentum that they gained from last term – when they finished in seventh place in the top flight.

At times, Bilic’s future at West Ham has been heavily speculated about.

However, Shearer insists that there is not much more that the Croatian boss can do at the London Stadium.

Bilic said: “There’s been a lot of talk about Bilic’s job, but they’ve finished 11th and I’m not sure they could have achieved any better than that, really.”

Bilic has admitted that this season has been hugely challenging for him at West Ham.

The London side have moved into a new stadium, and had to deal with the exit of Dimitri Payet.

West Ham are expected to provide Bilic with funds to spend this summer, as they look to push on next campaign.
