Slaven Bilic will reportedly remain in charge of West Ham United until at least the end of the season, despite another slow start.

West Ham United chiefs have decided to stick with under-fire manager Slaven Bilic until the end of the season, according to a report.

The 49-year-old has seen his position at the London Stadium questioned in the opening months of the 2017-18 campaign following another disappointing start.

A string of underwhelming results, combined with the availability of sacked Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti - a long-term target for owners David Sullivan and David Gold - meant that the Croatian's future looked bleak.

Saturday's late 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Swansea City helped ease some of the pressure on Bilic, however, lifting his side up to 15th place with seven points from the same number of games.

It is claimed by The Mirror that there is no appetite to make a change before the end of the season, at which point Bilic is due to be out of contract.

West Ham have a nice run of fixtures to come after the international break, as they face Burnley, Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace in quick succession.
