Manuel Pellegrini is reportedly set to become the new manager of West Ham United.
Former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is on the verge of becoming the new West Ham United manager, according to The Guardian.
It has been reported that Pellegrini has held talks with West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan on Monday.
The former Real Madrid head coach is reported to have agreed a three-year contract with the Hammers worth £10 million a year.
The 64-year-old has managed some of the biggest clubs in Europe, such as Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Pellegrini guided City to the Premier League title during the 2013-14 season, and to the League Cup in 2014 and 2016.
The former River Plate boss also achieved success during his time at Villarreal and Malaga, but former West Ham defender Danny Gabbidon, 38, is not convinced that he is the right man for the managerial job at the London Stadium, as he stated on social networking site Twitter.
Gabbidon also gave his opinion on the situation of West Ham defender James Collins on Twitter.
The 34-year-old former Wales international centre-back will leave the Hammers this summer when his current contract runs out, according to BBC Sport.
According to talkSPORT, Collins, who has been earning £35,000 per week as salary according to Spotrac.com, was told of West Ham’s decision not to renew his contract by email.
