West Ham fans are currently in a state where they’re not just looking at potential players to bring in in January, they’re also keeping an eye out for a new manager seeing as Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been in poor form, with a few potential gaffers being linked.

One of those is being touted as a potential man to take over at the club should Pellegrini be sacked is Rafa Benitez. The Spaniard’s currently out in China managing Dalian Yifang after leaving Newcastle at the end of last season, yet the West Ham fans aren’t convinced by the rumours.
The Daily Mirror are the ones claiming that Benitez could be set to take on the job at The London Stadium should Pellegrini be forced out or quit his role, although it hasn’t gone down at all well with the fans, even if Rafa does have the ability to get them up the table.
Who would you want to replace Pellegrini?
Arteta
Howe
Ten Haag

Please god no. We need a young hungry manager. Someone who will bring some thing into the club not old past it managers

The Irons have not got much time at all for these Benitez rumours and will be keen to see someone else take the reigns at The London Stadium should Pellegrini walk.
