Manuel Pellegrini has been announced as West Ham United’s new manager after holding talks with the club’s co-owner David Sullivan in London on Monday. The 64-year-old has Premier League experience and led Manchester City to the title in 2014. Sullivan said: “I am delighted to welcome Manuel Pellegrini to West Ham United. “It was important that we appointed someone with knowledge and experience of the Premier League, who already has an understanding – not only of the teams and players we face – but of West Ham United and our ambitions. Sullivan said that Pellegrini’s style of football and ability to lure players to West Ham was also a factor in the club’s decision.
