The 2010–11 season was West Ham United's sixth consecutive season in the Premier League. After finishing in 17th place in the previous season, the team finished 20th and was relegated to the Football League Championship.

Season summary

The club appointed Avram Grant as their new manager on 3 June 2010,^[1] following the sacking of Gianfranco Zola at the end of a disappointing 2009–10 season.^[2] On 15 May 2011, West Ham were relegated to the Championship after a comeback from Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium. With West Ham leading 2–0 at half-time by two Demba Ba goals, Wigan battled back to win 3–2 thanks to an added-time strike from Charles N'Zogbia.^[3] Following the loss, West Ham announced the sacking of manager Avram Grant just one season into his tenure.^[4]
