Manuel Pellegrini is reportedly on West Ham United’s radar.

Shaka Hislop has been quoted as saying by The Express that he likes the idea of Manuel Pellegrini becoming the new West Ham United manager.

According to BBC Sport, West Ham are set to hold talks with former Manchester City boss Pellegrini.

The Hammers have reportedly identified the former Real Madrid head coach for the managerial role at the London Stadium following the departure of David Moyes.

Former West Ham goalkeeper Hislop has stated that he likes the idea of Pellegrini taking charge of the Hammers.

The Express quotes Hislop as saying: “I do (like the idea of Pellegrini), if you can get him.”

Brilliant appointment

Pellegrini is a brilliant manager, and if West Ham are able to secure his services, then it would be a huge coup.

The Chilean has managed some of the best footballers in the world and has won major silverware, including the Premier League title with City, and him being at the London Stadium would also attract top players to West Ham.

The 64-year-old’s playing style is also attractive to the eye, and West Ham fans should be optimistic about achieving success under him.
