Confirmed: Manuel Pellegrini appointed new West Ham manager

Manuel Pellegrini has been named West Ham's new manager on a three-year contract.

The 64-year-old Chilean, previously in charge of Real Madrid and Manchester City, left his role with Hebei China Fortune over the weekend and flew to London for talks about succeeding David Moyes.

The Hammers opted not to keep Moyes on after the Scot's short-term contract ended following the final game of the Premier League season - a 3-1 win over his former side Everton which saw them finish 13th.
