West Ham have been rejected by both Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino as they consider replacements for David Moyes.
What’s the story?
Well, the east Londoners are now in the relegation zone following Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, which has put Moyes in danger of receiving his P45.
As a result, those in the boardroom at the London Stadium are considering replacements for the 59-year-old.
The Daily Mail believe West Ham have been rejected by Tuchel, with the 49-year-old out of work since being sacked by Chelsea back in September.
Pochettino – who recorded 132 wins in the Premier League across spells at Southampton and Tottenham – has also turned down an approach from the Hammers.
As things stand, West Ham are simply exploring the managerial market in preparation for life after Moyes, whose job is far from safe even if he does manage to keep the Irons in the Premier League.
West Ham spent £160m on new signings over the summer, and those in the boardroom will surely be disappointed to see such a poor return for the amount of money they invested.
Unlike Tuchel & Pochettino, someone does want West Ham job
While Tuchel and Pochettino are not interested in replacing Moyes, it appears Rafa Benitez is.
The Daily Mail believe the Spaniard is keen to take the reins at the London Stadium, and is waiting to see if the Scot receives his P45.

However, Benitez is said to want a long-term project in his next role, and would be looking for a lengthy contract, something West Ham may not be willing to commit to.
With a crucial clash against Nottingham Forest on the schedule this Saturday, we could see developments if Moyes fails to secure three points – be sure to keep an eye on the situation, as anything could happen.
