According to a report from the Guardian, West Ham are ‘admirers’ of Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi, but there are doubts that they could tempt the Italian away from the Serie A side.
The 43-year-old took over Lazio in 2016, and he has worked wonders during his reign at the Olympic Stadium.
Inzaghi’s Lazio side are currently flying high in Serie A in third place, just five points adrift of league leaders Inter Milan.
The former Lazio and Italy striker implements a wonderfully exciting brand of attacking football, and the West Ham fans would surely love to see him at the London Stadium.
The Guardian claims that the Hammers board are admirers of Inzaghi, but they realise he will be hard to prise away from the Italian capital.
Manuel Pellegrini is currently hanging on by his fingernails. Defeat to Southampton on Saturday could spell the end of his time in charge at West Ham.
There are plenty of potential candidates to take over from the Chilean, but none more exciting than Inzaghi.
The 43-year-old would be a really progressive appointment for the Hammers, but as things stand it is highly unlikely that he will swap Lazio for West Ham.
