West Ham in Talks with Ex-Bayern Manager

West Ham United’s managerial search is in full swing assuming David Moyes’ probable departure. The Hammers are in discussions with three prominent figures: Ruben Amorim, a rising star currently at Sporting CP, Julen Lopetegui, a seasoned manager with experience at top European clubs, and surprisingly, Hansi Flick, the decorated former Bayern Munich boss.

West Ham’s Europa League elimination and a crushing defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League look like they are the final nails in the coffin for Moyes. Throughout the season, the team’s inconsistency fueled speculation about his future.

Ruben Amorim, a young manager with a reputation for attacking football, has quickly become a coveted figure in the managerial market. Julen Lopetegui, with his experience at clubs like Sevilla and Real Madrid, also represents a strong candidate.

Adding a twist to the story, journalist Jack Rosser reports that Hansi Flick, a manager with an impressive trophy haul at Bayern Munich, is also being considered. His surprise inclusion suggests potential prior contact between Flick and West Ham, evidenced by his attendance at a West Ham game this season.

Flick boasts a decorated past, having won the Bundesliga, Champions League, and numerous other titles with Bayern Munich. However, his recent stint with the German national team ended on a disappointing note, with an early exit from both the Euros and the World Cup.
