Pellegrini to stay at West Ham amid interest from Barcelona

Manuel Pellegrini will remain as West Ham manager next season despite La Liga duo Barcelona and Sevilla reportedly eyeing a move for the 65-year-old. 

The former Manchester City boss guided the Hammers to a top half finish in the Premier League in his first season in charge at the London Stadium, and was said to be on the radar of the Spanish pair.

Barca boss Ernesto Valverde reportedly faces an uncertain future at the club following their dramatic Champions League exit at the hands of Liverpool, while Sevilla are targeting replacements for caretaker manager Joaquin Caparros.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Pellegrini will not be leaving the club after one season in charge and is looking forward to planning for next season with the Hammers.

The Chilean still has two years remaining on his current deal with West Ham, after being announced as manager in May last year following a spell in charge of Chinese Super League club Hebei China Fortune.
