David Sullivan apparently wants to bring Massimiliano Allegri to West Ham United.

Everything’s up in the air at the London Stadium right now, with Julen Lopetegui on the brink of the sack, and West Ham co-owner David Sullivan is eyeing up other managers, like Max Allegri.

Incredibly, Lopetegui has been given one more game to save his job – the clash with Wolves on Monday night.

The Spaniard has apparently told Sullivan that he believes he is hitting two of the three targets he was set at the start of the season – to integrate nine new signings and to improve the playing style.

I personally think Lopetegui id deluded if that’s what he truly thinks.

We all know that it’s time for a change at the London Stadium, and there are plenty of managers out there who could improve us.

Allegri is certainly one of those, and a big update regarding our chances of appointing him has emerged overnight.

Massimiliano Allegri gives answer to David Sullivan

The Italian is one of the most highly decorated managers in world football.

He has a remarkable 15 trophies to his name during his time in football management, including six Serie A titles.

The 57-year-old is well-known for his ability to organise his teams defensively to an incredibly high level.

Allegri is like night and day to Lopetegui.

Whilst the Italian wouldn’t bring free-flowing football to the London Stadium, he definitely would raise the intensity levels at the club.

But do we actually have a chance of appointing him? Well, yes and no…

According to a report from talkSPORT’s Alex Crook, Massimiliano “Max” Allegri is an ambitious target for the Hammers, but he’s off the table…for now.

That’s because he doesn’t want to take over at West Ham mid-season.

That could change everything. Perhaps Sullivan will be prepared to wait until the end of the season to get his man?

The outcome of the game against Wolves on Monday night will very much dictate Sullivan’s next move though.

Calciomercato.it claim that Allegri will demand a £6.6 million per year deal at the very least – that works out to a whopping £127k-a-week.

Whether Sullivan will be prepared to offer the Italian anything like that remains to be seen, but his availability on a free transfer certainly makes it possible.

Julen Lopetegui is a dead man walking at West Ham right now, and Massimiliano Allegri is clearly an option for David Sullivan.

However, the Hammers supremo might just have to be patient if he wants to snap up the former Juventus and AC Milan boss.
