A selection of West Ham United fans have offered up a surprise name to potentially replace Manuel Pellegrini as head coach of the club, with Leeds United’s Marcelo Bielsa emerging as a name in the conversation.
The Hammers are on a really rotten run of form at the moment, failing to win any of their last seven in the Premier League.
Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur made it three straight league defeats, and it is not as if it gets any easier as they prepare to head to Chelsea this weekend.
West Ham have reportedly held talks with Pellegrini about the alarming drop of form.
And some of the London club’s supporters think that they might have the solution to their problem.

Indeed, when Leeds United boss Bielsa, 64, was named as a potential incoming at the London Stadium, some of the fans suggested that it would be a very good idea.
Leeds would surely fight tooth and nail to keep hold of the Argentine, although the lure of the Premier League would be very strong indeed.
With the Whites in the ascendancy and chasing promotion from the Championship, though, it seems unlikely the Hammers would be able to persuade him to move to east London in mid-season.

Meanwhile, amid the team’s struggles, Pellegrini seems to be fast losing faith in one player in particular.
