Besiktas boss Slaven Bilic is reportedly open to taking charge at West Ham United should current manager Sam Allardyce leave Upton Park in the summer.
Widespread reports have claimed that changes within the coaching set-up will be made at West Ham in preparation for the club's move to the Olympic Stadium in 2016.
Recent speculation has suggested that Allardyce has rejected the prospect of a new deal, which leaves the door open for Bilic, who spent a year playing for West Ham.
According to the Daily Star, Bilic is yet to speak to the Premier League club, but it is believed that the 46-year-old is ready to discuss a potential move to England.
Reports have claimed that former Manchester United manager David Moyes, who is currently in charge of Real Sociedad, remains the Hammers' number one target, but the Scotsman is understood to be keen to stay in Spain.
Bilic has one year left on his contract at Besiktas.
