Former Stoke City head coach Narcis Pelach has been appointed first-team coach at West Ham United as part of new Hammers' boss Graham Potter's backroom staff.
Pelach was sacked by Stoke on December 27 after just three months in charge during which they won only three of his 19 games at the helm.
"Narcis Pelach is a really young coach who is excellent on the grass, excellent with the players," Potter told his first West Ham news conference having replaced Julen Lopetegui.
"We need everyone to be pulling in the same direction, we need to be aligned and using the resources we have.
