West Ham United have sacked manager Manuel Pellegrini after their home defeat to Leicester.
The Hammers went down 2-1 at the London Stadium to a Foxes side who made nine changes from the side that lost 4-0 at Liverpool on Boxing Day.
The result saw West Ham equal their club record run of four successive home defeats in the Premier League having also lost out to Arsenal , Tottenham and Newcastle in recent
weeks.
They also have nine defeats in their last 12 games, leaving them 17th in the Premier League table and hovering just a point off the relegation zone.
It was enough to prompt club bosses to part with former Premier League title winner Pellegrini after 18 months at the helm.
Former Everton boss David Moyes is the early front-runner with the bookies to return to the Hammers.
