Manuel Pellegrini Appointed West Ham United Manager on 3-Year Contract

West Ham United appointed former Real Madrid and Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini as their new manager Tuesday.

The club announced the deal via their official Twitter account, as Pellegrini put pen to paper on a three-year deal.

The 64-year-old departed Hebei China Fortune on Saturday having been with the Chinese club since leaving City in 2016.

Pellegrini is in his 30th year of management and brings with him an impressive CV.

He won three league titles and as many cup competitions in South America, before winning the Premier League in 2014 with City as well as two League Cups.
