West Ham United have their former manager Slaven Bilic on their radar with Graham Potter under increasing pressure, according to talkSPORT.
West Ham could be forced to sack the former Chelsea boss if results and performances do not improve quickly at the London Stadium club, and chairman David Sullivan is weighing up his options.
The Hammers chief is considering turning to Bilic, while Nuno Espirito Santo and Sean Dyche have also been discussed by the West Ham hierarchy.
The Portuguese is currently out of work after leaving Nottingham Forest earlier this month, while his English counterpart is also free after Everton dismissed him last season.
Bilic led West Ham to a seventh-place finish during his first season managing the club, but he was fired in his third campaign and has not had impressive spells at his subsequent jobs.
Appointing Espirito Santo could be more appealing after his impressive jobs at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Forest, while the ability to keep clubs up makes Dyche a tempting option.
West Ham need a manager capable of turning them into regular challengers for the European competitions, and Espirito Santo could be perfect for the job.
However, the club will have more than three options on their list if Potter is fired, and the former Brighton & Hove Albion manager could still keep his job if their fortunes improve on the pitch in the coming games.
West Ham host Crystal Palace on Saturday before a trip to Merseyside to take on Everton on September 29.
Winning both games could buy Potter more time to steady the ship and hold on to his job, and Sullivan will hope that happens as he is not huge on firing managers.
West Ham have won just once in five games across all competitions this term, getting dumped out of the Carabao Cup.
Potter has led the Hammers to six wins in 24 games, losing 13 and drawing the other five.
