• Pellegrini has been in the job since May 2018
• Moyes, Hughton and Howe could be approached
David Moyes is a strong favourite to take over from Manuel Pellegrini after the Chilean was sacked as manager of West Ham in the aftermath of their embarrassing 2-1 home defeat by Leicester.
The former Everton manager has been lined up to return to the role he performed in similar circumstances during the 2017-18 season, with West Ham just one point above the relegation zone after four successive home defeats and just two wins in all competitions since late September. Pellegrini was informed of the decision to sack him despite holding his post-match press conference following the loss to an under-strength Leicester side featuring nine changes from their defeat to Liverpool on Boxing Day. West Ham left the pitch to a chorus of boos from the few home supporters that remained and the news that Pellegrini had been sacked was delivered less than 90 minutes after the final whistle.
