Better late than never – Arbeloa aims dig at departing Bilic

Former West Ham defender Alvaro Arbeloa aimed a parting shot at Slaven Bilic following the Croatian’s sacking by the club.

The Hammers announced Bilic’s departure on Monday, in the wake of Saturday’s dismal 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Liverpool, another of the Spaniard’s former teams.

In quote tweeting an account reporting the news of the manager’s demise, Arbeloa posted: “Better late than never.”

Arbeloa arrived at West Ham in August 2016 on a one-year deal, but played just three Premier League matches under Bilic.

The former Real Madrid and Spain defender – winner of two European Championships and the World Cup with his country – retired following his year in east London.
