Pellegrini's job still secured at West Ham

Manuel Pellegrini's job as the coach of West Ham United is secured despite his side's very poor start to the season, Mirror Football reports.

West Ham have lost their opening four games in the Premier League this season, and are currently bottom of the league.

This is happening despite spending around £100m on new players during the summer transfer window.

According to the bookies, he is now the second favourite to be sacked after Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

Things will not get any easier for the former Real Madrid boss as his side will face Everton, Chelsea and Manchester United after the international break.

Despite the expectations surrounding the club after a busy transfer window, the club have only scored two goals in the league this term - against Arsenal and Bournemouth.

With Pellegrini's achievement at Manchester City where he won the league, this is not the start fans and management of West Ham were expecting when they brought him to replace David Moyes in the summer.
