An emphatic 4-1 defeat at home to Liverpool on Saturday appears to be the final nail in Slaven Bilić’s coffin. The Croatian who was hired back in 2015, managed 109 games in East London, has now been sacked by the club. However, after 11 games this season, West Ham sit in 18th place with only 9 points to their name. Such form wasn’t going be tolerated much longer, and Saturday proved to be the last straw.
In a statement released by the club, they believed the change was imperative for the club “to move forward positively and in line with their ambition.” Clearly sitting in the relegation zone was not in their plans and the board have swiftly acted to alter their fortunes.
Here are three replacements for Slaven Bilić.
1David Moyes
The bookies believe the Scotsman could be hired as early as this week. Moyes has already publicly confirmed he’d be interested in taking the job, as he’s been out of employment since May. His style of football may not be the most expansive or attractive, but in the Premier League, he’s proved himself time & time again.
He’s arguably Everton’s most successful manager ever, and since his departure, the Toffees have declined rapidly. At Goodison Park, Moyes took Everton to the Champions League, whilst winning a whopping 218 games. With a 60,000-seater London Stadium, financial backing and players like Manuel Lanzini at his disposal, David Moyes could easily turn this sinking ship around.
