Slaven Bilic sacked by West Ham

    West Ham have sacked Slaven Bilic as manager.

    The London club has parted company with the Croatian following Saturday's 4-1 defeat by Liverpool at London Stadium, which sees the team in the relegation zone.

    Bilic, 49, was appointed in the summer of 2015 and guided West Ham to seventh place in his first season in charge.

    But an 11th-placed finish last term, the first at their new home, has been followed by a poor start this season.

    Former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes has been strongly linked with succeeding Bilic.
