The Israeli, who signed a four-year deal at Upton Park last June, has been dismissed with one game left after the club was relegated at Wigan.
West Ham has sacked Avram Grant after the club suffered relegation from the Premier League.The Hammers were demoted to the Championship following a 3-2 defeat to Wigan at the DW Stadium, in a game which Grant's side was leading 2-0 at halftime.
The Israeli took charge at Upton Park last June on a four year deal following the departure of Gianfranco Zola, who managed to keep West Ham in the Premier League last term.The 56-year-old's job has been under constant threat during his time at the club. Martin O'Neill was strongly linked to succeed Grant in January before pulling out of the move.
Co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan now face the task of hiring a manager fit to rebuild and guide the club back into the top flight.

I blame the owners of Westham and I think it serves them right; the way they undermined Zola last season and did the same to Grant this season; what is wrong with them? They interfere in team affairs, abuse players, trade words in the press etc; the lesson is when you give someone a job to do, let them do it! If they do exactly the same thing with the next manager, they would get the same result. My sympathy goes to the fans.
