Sean Dyche would be interested in talking to West Ham if the job becomes available, according to The Guardian.
West Ham are reportedly considering sacking Manuel Pellegrini. The Hammers are without a win since September and a relegation battle is looking increasingly likely.
This could cost Pellegrini his job and potential replacements are being discussed. Chris Hughton, Rafa Benitez, Eddie Howe and Dyche are four names that have been mentioned.
Trusted West Ham insider EXWHUEmployee has backed up this report. He has told his Twitter followers that Dyche has “apparently approached us”. Does the Burnley manager fancy a new challenge?
Dyche divides opinion
West Ham fans appear to be torn on these rumours. On the one hand, Dyche has an excellent record at Burnley, getting them promoted twice and leading them to the Europa League.
This season, the Clarets are getting results and they currently sit in seventh place. Dyche outwitted Pellegrini in the 3-0 win at Turf Moor recently.
But other fans point to Dyche’s renowned style of play. Would he be too similar to Sam Allardyce? Here are some tweets from Hammers fans about Dyche.
