New West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini and his wife Carola Pucci are recovering after being held up at gunpoint by armed robbers in Chile on Saturday evening, according to reports.
The pairing were on their way to an unnamed restaurant with friends before being ambushed by the men, who are believed to have stolen the 64-year-old's wife's bag not long after the couple left their car.
According to The Mirror, the armed robbers then attempted to escape following the arrival of police in a stolen Porsche Cayenne by throwing down road spikes and one discharging his weapon.
