Manuel Pellegrini looks set to become the highest-paid manager in West Ham's history if, as expected, he joins the club in the next 48 hours.
Pellegrini will be taking a significant pay cut, however, having been earning around £16m a year in China.
Sky Sports News understands lawyers are still working on the final drafts of West Ham’s offer to the 64-year-old, who left his job with Hebei China Fortune over the weekend and flew into London.
The former Manchester City title-winning manager is due to meet co-owners David Sullivan, David Gold and vice-chairman Karren Brady later on Monday.
Sky Sports News reported last week the Hammers were closing in on Pellegrini despite retaining an interest in long-term target and Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez.
Pellegrini has been a leading candidate to replace David Moyes, after the Chilean took Manchester City to the title in 2013-14.
He began his managerial career in South America and winning national leagues in four different countries. He has been in charge of Villarreal, Real Madrid and Malaga in Spain. (Sky Sports)
