Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is one of West Ham’s potential options if Manuel Pellegrini departs.
West Ham are considering sacking Pellegrini and Howe is under consideration, according to The Guardian. Trusted Hammers insider EXWHUEmployee has since backed this up, claiming that Howe is interested in the job.
Howe’s record at Bournemouth speaks for itself. He has taken the Cherries from the bottom of League Two to the top half of the Premier League. There was a spell in between where he joined Burnley and that ended sour but his Bournemouth stats are impressive.
After averaging a win every other game in his first spell, Howe now has a win percentage of over 40% at Bournemouth. But the 41-year-old could fancy a new challenge with West Ham.
The Hammers are in danger of dropping into the relegation zone in the next few matches. West Ham have not won since September and Pellegrini is facing vocal calls to be sacked.
West Ham fans have been discussing the possibility of bringing Howe in as a replacement. Here are some of the best tweets.
