West Ham United are reportedly eyeing Lyon coach Bruno Genesio as a potential replacement for Manuel Pellegrini.
Claims from France that Manuel Pellegrini is facing a fight for his future at West Ham United has certainly got fans talking.
According to RMC Sports, the Chilean’s position at the London Stadium is in doubt with just a few weeks in the 2018/19 season.
The highest-paid manager in West Ham’s history, Pellegrini arrived with a huge reputation after impressive spells at Real Madrid, Malaga, Villarreal and Manchester City and his Hammers side are still in with a chance of playing European football next season.
Yet while he is an undoubted upgrade on David Moyes, Slaven Bilic and co, there have been some truly dreadful results, a series of questionable team selections and that 4-2 FA Cup defeat at AFC Wimbledon.
But who would replace Pellegrini? According to RMC, Lyon coach Bruno Genesio is in the frame.
The 52-year-old is facing an uncertain future himself after Lyon’s Coupe de France semi-final defeat to Rennes. But he has masterminded some famous wins over Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain over the years while turning Nabil Fekir and Tanguy Ndombele into two of Europe’s most coveted players.
So, how do the West Ham fans feel about these rather surprising claims?
