West Ham United: Thomas Tuchel update emerges as David Moyes in sack trouble
West Ham are a “step closer” to hiring former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel after Bayern Munich announced he will leave at the end of the season.
According to the Daily Express [21 February], the German will be keen to get his career back on track after a disappointing spell in Bavaria and will be a “dream” appointment for the Irons.
A shortlist has been drawn up to replace David Moyes who is in sack trouble and Tuchel is understood to be admired by the hierarchy.
Can West Ham United successfully appoint Thomas Tuchel?
Hiring Tuchel could potentially be a positive move for West Ham, as he brings a wealth of experience and tactical acumen to the table.
Tuchel’s track record at clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea showcases his ability to manage top-tier teams and compete for titles.
His style of play has been easy on the eye at most clubs and it could be refreshing for the fans who’ve sat through Moyes for the last few years.
However, securing Tuchel’s services won’t be without its challenges as there may be competition from other clubs vying for his signature, especially considering his reputation in the footballing world.
Furthermore, the Hammers might need to meet Tuchel’s financial and personnel demands, which could strain their resources.
His appointment would signal the club’s ambition to compete at the highest level of English football but he should be wanting the job in the first place.
