West Ham United are looking into the prospect of sacking manager Slaven Bilic and replacing him with Carlo Ancelotti, according to a report.
Hammers chiefs have stuck by the under-pressure boss despite a disappointing start to the campaign that has left the club 18th in the Premier League table after six games.
The Sun claims that West Ham may now take action, however, as Ancelotti - a long-term target for owners David Sullivan and David Gold - is out of work after parting company with Bayern Munich on Thursday afternoon.
It is claimed that Ancelotti wants his next job to be back in English football, where he won the FA Cup and Premier League during his two years at Chelsea.
Ancelotti, whose final game at the Allianz Arena helm was a 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, has admitted in the past that he would be open to managing a club of West Ham's stature.
