West Ham have reportedly held a meeting regarding Julen Lopetegui’s future, with Max Allegri emerging as a potential replacement, according to talkSPORT.
Given that David Moyes was mentioned in passing in the same publication, the veracity of this rumor is still questionable.
Allegri, who was regarded as a top contender, has been unemployed since his abrupt departure from Juventus. Two days after leading the squad to victory over Atalanta in the Coppa Italia final, the 57-year-old was fired.
The fiery Italian manager was immediately fired after a furious outburst during the game that resulted in his tearing off his jacket and sarcastically clapping in the referee’s face, earning him a red card.
Allegri has reportedly had discussions with West Ham, but according to TalkSPORT, he would only consider accepting the position at the end of the current campaign.
The Hammers are reportedly considering hiring a caretaker manager as a result of this, with David Moyes reportedly being the unexpected candidate to fill in for a six-month stay at the London Stadium.
Even while the Moyes connection would make the narrative seem implausible, it’s possible that talkSPORT confused two different theories. Meanwhile, Serie A team Roma is rumored to be considering Allegri.
However, he may come to regret tearing up that garment if he ever visits London.
