West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce's future at Upton Park will reportedly be decided 24 hours after the Hammers' final-day Premier League clash with Newcastle United.

The struggling Magpies host West Ham on Sunday in the final round of Premier League fixtures and according to The Daily Telegraph, Allardyce will be informed he will not be offered a new deal on the Monday after the game.

Allardyce has repeatedly stressed he will not discuss his future with the club's owners, Davids Gold and Sullivan, until after the final game of the season.

Now it is understood the former Newcastle United boss will be told his contract, which ends next month, will not be renewed for a fifth season.

The 59-year-old succeeded Avram Grant at Upton Park in 2011 and immediately steered the club back into the top flight via the Championship play-offs.

He has since guided the Hammers to tenth and 13th-place finishes in the Premier League and they have already bettered their points tally of the last two seasons.

Should Allardyce leave Upton Park, current Napoli boss Rafa Benitez is reportedly the club's first choice to succeed him.

The former Chelsea and Liverpool manager is expected to leave Naples at the end of the Serie A season.
