Former West Ham United managerial target Sebastian Hoeness is the name every club is talking about, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.

West Ham conducted internal checks on the German in November 2024 as they looked to replace Julen Lopetegui.

However, the Hammers appointed Graham Potter to succeed the Spaniard after sacking him in January 2025.

Potter was fired last September, with Nuno Espirito Santo replacing him. He was soon under pressure after West Ham descended into a relegation battle.

However, three wins and one draw in their last five Premier League games have bought Nuno more time, but could life have been different for West Ham under Hoeness?

Delaney claimed in his ‘Inside Football’ bi-weekly newsletter today that the 43-year-old is the coaching name every club is now discussing.

Hoeness took over Stuttgart in April 2023, leading them from the bottom of the league table into the relegation play-offs of the 2022-23 campaign.

They defeated Hamburg to stay up, and his stock has continued to rise since then.

West Ham need a progressive manager, but the Premier League is a cut-throat league where many promising head coaches struggle to impress.

Nuno will hold on to his job until the summer and will stay in the position if he guides the Hammers to safety.
