West Ham’s six-year Premier League stay came to an end as it squandered a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 at Wigan, which boosted its fight against relegation. The Hammers are also looking for a new coach.
Less than 1 1/2 hours after demotion from English soccer’s top league, West Ham said on its website that Avram Grant “is no longer the manager.” It is Grant’s second straight relegation after taking Portsmouth down last season.
