CandH Exclusive: Hammers in new manager struggle

Benitez – No serious Hammers interest

CandH Exclusive by Hughie Southon

West Ham are unable to attract a manager to the club immediately or before the end of the season on a short term deal in a bid to save them from relegation.

Any thoughts that they can insert the man they want to save them from relegation with an out clause included should he fail are dead in the water.

And right now Claret and Hugh understands only two are available with both looking for a three and a half year contract into the bargain should they be approached – Rafael Benitez and Marcelo Bielsa.

Hammers have hopes

The Hammers have little interest anyway in either having seen the former Liverpool boss turn them down at the last minute a few years and considered another defensive coach anyway.

Bielsa, meanwhile, was rejected ahead of the club appointing Slaven Bilic with  the board being unimpressed and the former Leeds boss having no command of English.

Bielsa – No Hammers interest at all

The Hammers therefore are forced to stick with Moyes for the time being but may be hoping that Chelsea’s floundering head coach Graham Potter could soon become available.

They chose to reject the chance of taking Sean Dyche and with the manager market currently empty of guys who could be worth a three year punt find themselves with no options.
