According to The Sun, West Ham United have given manager Manuel Pellegrini two games to save his job – starting with tonight’s clash with Arsenal.
The Hammers have won just once in their last nine Premier League games, losing six, and only a point – and two places – stands between them and the relegation zone.
West Ham travel to Southampton next Saturday after the Gunners game, and failing to convince and pick up good results in both games could see Pellegrini get sacked.
With the Hammers’ clash after the two games – against Liverpool – earlier scheduled for December 21st now postponed because of the Reds’ Club World Cup schedule, the board sees it as a natural chance to bring in another manager and give him time to settle in and work with the squad.
