West Ham United are struggling in the Premier League at the moment.
West Ham United have asked manager Slaven Bilic to make changes to his coaching staff, according to The Times.
It has been reported that Bilic has rejected West Ham’s offer of new fitness and first-team coaches this season.
The Hammers’ chiefs reportedly believe that the team could do with fresh faces to help with their injuries and poor form.
“Bilic backed Miljenko Rak, his long-term fitness coach, when the West Ham owners first suggested changes in December,” adds the report in The Times. “Some felt that Rak, at 69, could be helped by a younger man.”
Bilic is a good manager, but West Ham’s recent results have been hugely disappointing, and there is a chance that the team could get dragged into the relegation fight.
The Hammers are missing Dimitri Payet, who left for his former club Marseille in the January transfer window.
Finishing in the top six of the Premier League this season was never going to be possible for West Ham, but the squad is good enough to challenge for a spot in the top 10.
The London outfit are 14th in the Premier League table at the moment with 33 points from 30 matches, six points above the relegation zone.
West Ham will return to action on Wednesday evening when they take on Arsenal away from home at the Emirates Stadium in the league.
