Slaven Bilic is hanging onto his job at West Ham.

West Ham suffered an embarrassing home defeat at the London Stadium, beaten easily at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.

The listless manner of the loss was as concerning as the defeat itself, and manager Slaven Bilic’s job – which was already precarious – looks to be in doubt.

Bookies Paddy Power are already offering odds on his replacement, and there are three early favourites.

Roberto Mancini 3/1

Rafa Benitez 3/1

Manuel Pellegrini 3/1

Rafa Benitez is currently in charge at Newcastle and has been linked with the Hammers previously, and is currently placed higher in the table.

Former Manchester City title winning managers Mancini and Pellegrini are working abroad in Russia and China respectively.

Best of the rest?

Fulham’s Slavisa Jokanovic is listed at 11/2, while Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is priced at 9/1.

Tony Pulis, Thomas Tuchel and David Wagner follow at 10/1.
