• Second assistant coach masterminded shock win over Chelsea• Italian could take temporary charge if Pellegrini departsWest Ham’s shock win against
Chelsea last month was masterminded by Enzo Maresca, with the club’s second assistant coach taking over training from Manuel Pellegrini in the lead-up to the game.
Pellegrini normally devises West Ham’s tactics and the manager is likely to be sacked if his team are beaten for the eighth time in 10 matches when they visit Southampton on Saturday. West Ham are a point above the bottom three following the defeat against
Arsenal and patience is wearing thin at board level.
