Report makes big Marcelo Bielsa claim amidst West Ham new manager speculation

Add as preferred source on Google

Ex-Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is allegedly not being considered as a potential replacement for David Moyes at West Ham United.

That’s according to a report from 90 Min who claim that the Argentinian, sacked by Leeds in February last year, is currently not on the Hammers’ radar.

Instead, Sean Dyche and Rafa Benitez are said to be the two leading candidates to take over from Moyes, when he is inevitably sacked.

A shock report has claimed that David Moyes could actually be sacked BEFORE the Everton game on Saturday afternoon.

The Scot has messed things up badly at the London Stadium over the past year. West Ham have taken just 33 points from out last 36 games. That is relegation form, and the sooner that Moyes is moved on, the better in my opinion.

It seems as though one man in particular will not be taking over from the Scot though…

Marcelo Bielsa West Ham claim made

90 Min suggest that Bielsa is not being considered as a replacement for Moyes.

The 67-year-old is currently out of work, and was recently linked with the Hammers hot-seat (The Mail).

Bielsa is known for the exciting brand of free-flowing, high-tempo football that he gets his teams playing. However, he also has a reputation as somewhat of a gung-ho coach who places little emphasis on defence.

His record at Leeds proves that, and as fun as it would be with Bielsa at the helm, he’s probably the wrong man for us at this moment in time.

I actually believe that Dyche would be a great appointment, and is exactly what we need right now – here’s why.

Whatever happens against Everton on Saturday, it seems as though David Moyes’s time at the London Stadium is done.

At the same time though, Marcelo Bielsa probably won’t be the man to take over from the Scot at West Ham.
