Manuel Pellegrini is not sure if he will still be in charge of West Ham for their next game against Bournemouth.

The Hammers sit just a point above the relegation zone after Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester at the London Stadium.

Brendan Rodgers made nine changes to his Foxes side with Jamie Vardy left out of the match day squad completely.

While West Ham wiped out an early Leicester opener through Pablo Fornals, they offered little fight when Demarai Gray restored the away side's lead in the second period.

Boos rang out around the stadium as West Ham limped to another sorry defeat and when asked if he will still be the man in charge when Bournemouth make that trip to east London on New Year’s Day, he told reporters: “I must continue to work and find a way to recover the trust. I cannot answer that question."

Asked if he will be given the time to find a way to lift his team he said: “It is a question I cannot answer. We need to win our home games. Away we are not doing too bad.

“But our home games having just one point from 18 makes it so difficult.”
