Bilic's first task will be to maintain the Hammers' status as a Premier League club ahead of their relocation to the Olympic Stadium, but he'll have to keep an eye on performances too given the high demands set by both the board and the fans - just ask Allardyce.
The club's final game at Upton Park will take place on 7 May against Swansea City.
