West Ham har precis offentliggjort att Alan Pardew lämnar klubben tillföljd av de dåliga resultat som uppvisats på senare tid.
Saxat från West Hams officiella hemsida:
"CLUB STATEMENT
West Ham United have today announced the departure from the Club of Alan Pardew.
Alan has made an important contribution since joining as manager in September 2003 but this season's results have been disappointing and have left the Club in a very difficult position.
The Chairman, Mr Eggert Magnusson, and the Board have been concerned by the performances of recent weeks and feel that it is the right time to make a change in the best interests of the Club.
Mr Magnusson and the Board would like to place on the record their thanks to Alan Pardew for his hard work and commitment and to wish him well for the future.
The search for a successor is now underway in order that a new manager can be in place ahead of the January transfer window.
First Team Coach Kevin Keen will take temporary charge of team affairs until a new appointment has been made. No further statements on this matter will be made by the Club before that time."
Alan Pardew säger följande till hemsidan:
"I am proud of my achievements at West Ham United. When I took the helm they were in the Championship and struggling to find direction. In two consecutive seasons we qualified for the Play-Off final, ultimately achieving the Premiership status the club so richly deserve.
"I am also proud of our first season back in the top flight in which we finished ninth and came so close to winning the FA Cup. The supporters have stood by me and I will always cherish memories of their support and loyalty during the difficulties of this season.
"I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart. They really are a special set of fans.
"I am proud most of all of the players, many of whom have developed into top Premiership performers under the tutelage of myself and my backroom staff.
"The coaching and medical staff at Upton Park are second to none and I want to wish the new Chairman, Eggert Magnusson, and the Club every success for the future."
