“It’s great news and I’m so happy,” said the Argentine.

“I’m enjoying my time at West Ham and I’ve got so much respect and so much passion for this profession. I’m still enjoying it and it’s made me feel I can go for another year.

“He is a leader, an inspiration to all and fully committed to the club.”
