Pundit wants Jose Mourinho at West Ham United if David Moyes is sacked
We’re delighted to welcome former West Ham United striker Frank McAvennie as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at the London Stadium…
Frank McAvennie wants West Ham to try and bring in Jose Mourinho if they sack David Moyes as he would be a “great fit” at the London Stadium.
The Hammers are sitting in 17th place in the Premier League, outside the relegation zone just on goal difference, despite spending over £170m in the summer transfer window to improve the squad.
That has left David Moyes clinging on to his job, but while he is still in a job McAvennie has named the man who he would want to see step into the hot seat should it become vacant.
“I don’t know who’s out there,” he told West Ham Zone.
“Would he [Pochettino] come in and take the job? He’d come in and make players better that’s for sure.
“I don’t know if the fans would want Tuchel, they didn’t want Pellegrini. They were doing well then all of a sudden the backside fell out of the bucket.
“I don’t know who is out there. I always wanted Mourinho in there, he’d be a great fit. Because he doesn’t stand for fools.
“Everything he said about Man United came true didn’t it. He got absolutely crucified for it but Pogba and all of them, Shaw, Maguire not good enough and all of a sudden everyone notices that now.
“I wanted him years ago but I don’t know if he’d be accepted now. It wouldn’t be a problem for me that’s for sure. He’s a winner, he wins. Everywhere he goes he wins something.”
