According to pundits Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on talkSPORT, if the West Ham United job becomes available, high-profile manager Jose Mourinho would be likely to accept it.
West Ham have struggled this season under current manager Julen Lopetegui, sitting in 14th place in the Premier League table.
Despite significant investment in new signings over the summer, the Hammers have failed to impress, leading to growing pressure on Lopetegui.
Goldstein and Bent discussed the potential for Mourinho, who is currently managing Turkish side Fenerbahce, to take over at West Ham.
They believe Mourinho would be open to joining a Premier League club that is not competing at the top of the table.
The pundits debated whether Mourinho would be a good fit for West Ham, with Goldstein cautioning that the club could “implode” under Mourinho’s management.
Bent countered that Mourinho could potentially lead West Ham to a top-three finish and win trophies.
However, the report notes that Mourinho is currently focused on his job at Fenerbahce, who are third in the Turkish league standings.
It remains to be seen whether West Ham would make a formal approach for Mourinho if Lopetegui’s position becomes untenable.
Another name linked to the West Ham job is Edin Terzic, the former Borussia Dortmund manager who has impressed in his previous role.
