Slaven Bilic is being touted as the man to replace West Han United manager Sam Allardyce in the summer, according to reports.
The Croatian is currently in charge of Besiktas, having also managed his national team and played for the Hammers during his career.
Bilic does not have Premier League experience as a manager, but the Daily Mail reports that the West Ham hierarchy are fearful of relegation ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium in 2016 and will replace Allardyce when his contract expires.
Last week, Swansea City manager Garry Monk dismissed reports linking him to the West Ham role.
