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.
