The Burnley manager has been linked with West Ham United over this past week.
Slaven Bilic is an extremely popular figure amongst Hammers fans, mostly because of his strong affiliation with the club as a player way back in the mid 90’s.
Irrespective of how popular he is in east London though, he must start to string together a strong run of results, if he is to remain in charge at West Ham.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche is a man who has been heavily linked with the job at the London Stadium, and it is little wonder, following the excellent job that he has done during his time at Turf Moor.
So would the 46-year-old be a good appointment at West Ham, if Bilic does of course lose his job?
The clear and obvious answer is absolutely yes.
Most notably because first and foremost, Dyche knows how to organise a team defensively and tactically, something that Bilic seems rather unable to do.
The 46-year-old has a fantastic understanding of how to get his players working together as a unit, and defend as a team, with nobody having a so-called ‘free role’ in his side.
And whilst Hammers fans love to see open, expansive football played, their shambolic defending of late must be infuriating to watch to say the very least.
Dyche is also a superb motivator and man-manager – two attributes that the Hammers desperately need in their manager, with the amount of overpaid prima donnas currently at the club.
Most importantly, however, Dyche has a clear philosophy of how to play the game, and with his growing reputation in football, he will undoubtedly be an absolute coup for whichever club manages to secure his services.
And one thing is for sure, West Ham could do a lot worse than the 46-year-old Burnley boss.
