According to a report from The Guardian, ex-Juventus and Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is among the candidates to replace Julen Lopetegui at West Ham if the Spaniard gets sacked.
Italian coach Allegri is among the possible Lopetegui replacements at West Ham, according to English newspaper The Guardian.
Although ex-Serie A star and Porto coach Sérgio Conceição is emerging as the leading candidate for the job, the London-based club is also said to be considering Allegri.

The former Juventus, Milan and Cagliari boss was spotted in the English capital last week while watching Tottenham-Roma at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
West Ham have had a tough start to the season and are just six points above the bottom three in the Premier League.
Allegri was sacked by Juventus this past May, but he terminated his contract a few weeks later, so he can join any club without the Old Lady’s consent.
The 57-year-old is one of the most successful Italian coaches, having won six Serie A titles and five Coppa Italia.
