Newcastle United’s Rafael Benitez and Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe are reportedly admired by West Ham United.
According to a report in the Telegraph, West Ham United’s board are starting to consider the future of Slaven Bilic.
West Ham have made a terrible start to the new campaign, and they currently sit in 17th place in the Premier League table.
The Hammers do not want to sack Bilic, but there are now some doubts over his future.
West Ham’s board are becoming concerned that they could get dragged into a relegation battle, unless their form improves.
According to the Telegraph, West Ham are starting to consider their options should they dispense with Bilic – and four names are on their wishlist.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, Rudi Garcia, Roberto Mancini and Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez are all thought to be potential targets if Bilic does leave.
Benitez has guided Newcastle to the top of the Championship table, while Howe has impressed over a number of seasons with Bournemouth.
West Ham are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Hammers then have tough matches against Arsenal and Liverpool also on the horizon.
