West Ham United are thought to be considering replacing David Moyes in the near future.
Pellegrini is currently managing in China, but there have been suggestions that he could return to England with West Ham.
The Hammers are considering changing managers for next season, with David Moyes’ future up in the air.
Moyes has not been offered a new contract at the London Stadium yet, and it is now said that the Scot looks more likely to leave rather than stay.
West Ham are already considering his potential replacement, and Pellegrini is said to be high on their list.
The Hammers have already reportedly held informal talks with the 64-year-old, who is well known in the Premier League.
Pellegrini won the title during his last spell in England, when he was in charge at Manchester City.
West Ham have ambitions to start challenging for a European spot next season, but currently sit in 13th place in the top flight table.
