Thomas Tuchel to West Ham? Under-pressure Bayern Munich manager emerges as surprise candidate to succeed David Moyes

West Ham would consider appointing Bayern's Tuchel if they decide to sack Moyes, according to Sportslens. Tuchel is still on the books with the German club but they are five points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and were beaten by Lazio in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie in midweek. With the Irons beaten 6-0 by Arsenal at the weekend, Moyes' job security is once again under the microscope.

Moyes has guided the Hammers to eighth in the Premier League table and won the Europa Conference League last season, but they have not won a game in this calendar year. As a result, if form does not turn around, there is a possibility that Moyes could simply leave at the end of his contract at the end of the season. Tuchel may well have been relieved of his duties by then, especially if Bayern do not catch Leverkusen in the Bundesliga title race.

West Ham's last win actually came against Arsenal, on December 28, as the Hammers won 2-0 at the Emirates. Since then, though, they have drawn three league games and lost two. They were also knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Bristol City.

The Irons play Nottingham Forest on Saturday in a vital game for Moyes. Bayern, meanwhile, play Bochum in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
