West Ham have identified ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, ex-Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino and former Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa as potential candidates if they choose to dispense with the services of manager David Moyes, according to reports.

The Hammers’ defeat to Brentford on Friday night means they have picked up just 14 points from 17 games. It was their fifth straight loss, with their last league win coming against Bournemouth all the way back in October.

They could yet end the weekend in the relegation places if either Nottingham Forest or Southampton pick up wins; a position that nobody expected the club to be in after splashing out £160m on new players during the summer.

At this moment, it is believed that West Ham’s board have not lost confidence in Moyes, and it appears he will be given the chance to turn the situation around.

However, it seems as if the London side will aim high if they do decide to change their manager in the coming weeks.
