Breaking:West Ham sack Coach after loss

West Ham have sacked Manuel Pellegrini following their home

defeat to Leicester.

Co-owner and chairman David Sullivan said: "It is with great

disappointment that we've had to make this decision. Pellegrini is a

gentleman and it has been a real pleasure to work with someone

of his calibre.

"However, it has become clear that that a change is required to

get the club back on track in line with our ambitions this season.

We felt it was necessary to act now in order to give the new

manager as much time as possible to try and achieve that goal."
