The latest name that has appeared on the Manuel Pellegrini replacement roundabout comes from Ligue 1.
With West Ham United worryingly close to dropping into the relegation zone, it seems like Pellegrini’s time at the London Stadium is nearing its conclusion.

According to Claret & Hugh, Lille manager Christophe Galtier is the latest name on the shortlist to replace Pellegrini, should he leave the club.
The report adds that Sean Dyche, Eddie Howe and David Moyes are all also in the picture, with a British manager seemingly preferred.

He’d most likely be less feasible than some of the other options available to the Hammers, but if given the time and the funds he could make a real difference.
