Manuel Pellegrini is reportedly on the radar of West Ham United.
It has been reported that the former Real Madrid head coach is close to agreeing a three-year contract to become the new West Ham manager.
Pellegrini will reportedly hold talks with West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan in person on Sunday and will fly out to his native Chile on Thursday for holiday.
According to The Times, the 64-year-old former Villarreal and Malaga manager is earning about £10 million per year as salary at Hebei China Fortune and has a £5.1m exit clause.
Quality manager
Pellegrini is a brilliant manager who did well during his time at City, guiding the Citizens to the Premier League title in 2013-14 and the League Cup twice.
The Chilean manager is a winner, and he knows how to handle himself at big clubs, and West Ham fans should be optimistic about the team succeeding under him.
It is also great that West Ham are sorting their managerial issue so early in the summer.
