New West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini will be under no illusions of the size of the task he faces at the London Stadium.
After a turbulent 2017 which saw star man Dimitri Payet demand a move away, a wretched first full season in their new home and Slaven Bilic sacked, the club will be hoping they can finish this year on a more positive note.
The appointment of Pellegrini represents a step in the right direction for West Ham, the Chilean has serious footballing pedigree and has always been a success in Europe.
