Season summary

edit

The club appointed Avram Grant as their new manager on 3 June 2010,[1] following the sacking of Gianfranco Zola at the end of a disappointing 2009–10 season.[2] On 15 May 2011, West Ham were relegated to the Championship after a comeback from Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium. With West Ham leading 2–0 at half-time by two Demba Ba goals, Wigan battled back to win 3–2 thanks to an added-time strike from Charles N'Zogbia.[3] Following the loss, West Ham announced the sacking of manager Avram Grant just one season into his tenure.[4]
