Ralph Hasenhuttl would find it hard to reject the opportunity to manage West Ham United, should David Moyes lose his job.
That’s according to a report from The Express who claim that Hasenhuttl, recently sacked by Southampton, would be ‘hugely tempted’ by the Hammers job.
David Moyes is currently under real pressure in his role at the London Stadium after an awful start to the Premier League season.
West Ham currently sit just two points clear of the relegation zone. The Hammers board are allegedly completely behind Moyes though.
The next two games before the World Cup break will be crucial for Moyes. Nothing less than convincing wins against Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup and Leicester City in the Premier League will do.
A couple of defeats or even draws in those games though, and the Scot could well be given his marching orders…
Ralph Hasenhuttl could be a West Ham target
According to a report from The Express, the 55-year-old Austrian could be an option for the Hammers owners if they sack Moyes.
And Hasenhuttl allegedly would be open to taking the reins at the London Stadium.
Now, as poor as West Ham have been over the past year, I really don’t think sacking Moyes and appointing Hasenhuttl would be the right way to go.
If Moyes is to get the boot, the appointment of a young, ambitions and innovative manager should be an absolute must.
My main gripe with the Scot is that he is a manager stuck win a bygone era – someone who is too stubborn to see the errors of his ways.
It could be argued that the ex-Southampton boss falls under the same umbrella.
I’m all or a new manager at West Ham, I would just like the club to have a little more ambition that appointing Ralph Hasenhuttl.
