New West Ham manager ​Pellegrini promises attacking football

Manuel Pellegrini is delighted at the chance to prove what he can do at West Ham United.

Pellegrini has a very good reputation in the Premier League. He won the Premier League title with Manchester City in 2014.

Now he will take over from David Moyes at the London Stadium club. And at his unveiling, the Chilean talked about the type of football he wants to play with his new club.

"I'm very happy because I return to a league that, for me, and I always say the same thing, is the best league in the world, and especially because I come here to West Ham because every time I spoke with the owner Mister Sullivan, I always had the feeling that he wants me," said the 64-year-old to the club's official website.

"I think that West Ham had a difficult season last season and I hope that next season we are going to play football that will delight the fans. I always play attacking football and we must try to reach important targets in the season.

"Every time you have a meeting you have feelings about whether it was a good meeting or a bad meeting and I had the meeting with him, just talking about football and talking about West Ham.We agreed on a lot of things he wants for this Club in the way I think a football club must be managed, so we have a lot of common ideas."
