Gray nets winner as much-changed Leicester beat West Ham
LONDON - Manuel Pellegrini’s 18-month reign as West Ham United manager ended abruptly on Saturday as the Chilean was sacked shortly after his side’s 2-1 home defeat by Leicester City in the Premier League.
Former Manchester City title-winning manager Pellegrini, who took the team to 10th place last season and briefly into the top four early in this campaign, had already given his post-match news conference at the London Stadium and had not hinted at what was about to follow around 15 minutes later.“It is with great disappointment that we’ve had to make this decision,” joint-chairman David Sullivan said.
Pellegrini is the sixth top-flight manager to lose his job this season, following Mauricio Pochettino and Unai Emery at London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. For a while, it looked encouraging and there was talk of challenging for Europe when they went on a six-match unbeaten streak after losing to Manchester City on the opening day.
West Ham looked woefully low on confidence against a Leicester side showing nine changes to the line-up beaten by Liverpool 48 hours earlier but who were far too good.
