Slaven Bilic has been sacked as manager of West Ham. The Croatian was under immense pressure following the 4-1 home defeat to Liverpool on Saturday and now the axe has fallen.
The result at the London Stadium left the club in the relegation zone with just two wins from 11 games.
‘West Ham United can confirm that Slaven Bilic has today left his position with the Club,’ read a statement. ‘The Chairmen and board of West Ham United would like to place on record their thanks and gratitude to Slaven and his team for their services over the past two-and-a-half years, but believe a change is now necessary in order for the Club to move forward positively and in line with their ambition.
‘West Ham United can confirm that Bilic’s coaching assistants Nikola Jurcevic, Edin Terzic, Julian Dicks and Miljenko Rak have also left the Club with immediate effect.’ Bilic had been in charge since 2015 and leaves with a win percentage of 37.84%.
