West Ham United are considering Massimiliano Allegri as a potential successor to under-pressure manager Julen Lopetegui, according to recent reports from The Guardian. The London-based club are exploring managerial options as they navigate a challenging season in the Premier League.
While Sergio Conceição appears to be the leading candidate, Allegri has emerged as a serious alternative. The 57-year-old Italian tactician was recently spotted in London, watching a Tottenham-Roma match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, fueling speculation about his potential move to the Premier League.
Allegri brings an exceptional track record to the table, having previously managed top-tier Italian clubs like Juventus and AC Milan. He has won six Serie A titles and five Coppa Italia championships, along with two Champions League final appearances.
The Hammers are currently struggling, sitting just six points above the Premier League relegation zone. Lopetegui’s position appears increasingly precarious, especially following recent disappointing performances.
Allegri, recently released from Juventus, is free to join any club without contractual restrictions. His defensive expertise and proven winning mentality could potentially provide the stability West Ham desperately seeks.
