According to The Sun, newly-appointed West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini wants to appoint Mario Husillos as the Head of Recruitment at the London club.

The British tabloid, though, has claimed that there are concerns among the West Ham hierarchy that Husillos is not the right man for the role.

Reason for doubts

According to The Sun, there are concerns at the top level of West Ham about Husillos’s recent record.

Husillos is leaving Malaga, who have been relegated from La Liga this season, and the Hammers’ chiefs are reportedly concerned about his recent record.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that the Argentine signed eight players in the January transfer window to help Malaga avoid the drop to the second division of Spanish football, including Isaac Success on loan from Watford.

Faith in Manuel Pellegrini

While one can understand why the West Ham chiefs are (reportedly) concerned about Husillos, the fact is that one transfer window or a few months do not define anyone’s career.

Pellegrini has worked with Husillos before and knows him fully well, and perhaps the West Ham chiefs should have faith in the former Manchester City manager’s judgement.
