Manuel Pellegrini is expected to soon be confirmed manager of West Ham United.
Pellegrini has left Chinese Super League club Hebei China Fortune and is set to take over at West Ham.
Hebei made the announcement on social media after Pellegrini guided the team to a 2-1 win over Chongqing Lifan in the club's final league match before a two-month break for the World Cup.
“After amicable discussions with Mr Pellegrini, we have reached a mutual agreement," a club statement said.
“As of May 20, Mr Pellegrini will no longer work as the head coach of Hebei China Fortune Football Club.
“We sincerely thank Mr Pellegrini for his contribution to the club and we wish him all the best for the future."
