West Ham United lost 3-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon.
According to a report from The Sun, West Ham United will target Thomas Tuchel and Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner should they choose to replace Slaven Bilic.
The Hammers lost 3-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon, going 3-0 down to their London rivals before Javier Hernandez and Cheikhou Kouyate pulled goals back.
Bilic’s men couldn’t complete the come back though, and that ends West Ham’s run of no defeats in September, halting their recovery after three straight Premier League defeats to open the season.
Losses to Manchester United, Southampton and Newcastle United had piled the pressure on manager Bilic, and new reports suggest he may still be under pressure after a disappointing start to the campaign.
The Sun report that West Ham may choose to sack Bilic soon if results don’t improve, with targets already being lined up to replace the Croatian in the London Stadium hot seat.
It’s claimed that West Ham could return for Huddersfield boss David Wagner, who was linked with the club at the end of last season, having won promotion to the Premier League with the Terriers.
Thomas Tuchel
Wagner has impressed in the Premier League too, making Huddersfield solid at the back and exciting going forward, with a very real chance of staying in the Premier League – but his exploits have kept him on West Ham’s radar.
Another German is believed to be a target, with Thomas Tuchel allegedly in contention having left Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season, departing with a win rate of almost 63% from his two years in charge.
The 44-year-old will be in demand this season given his free agent status, and whilst Slavisa Jokanovic and Maurizio Sarri are both understood to be targets too, it could be two Germans leading the race for the Hammers.
