  WHAT HAPPENED?

  West Ham would consider appointing Bayern's Tuchel if they decide to sack Moyes, according to . Tuchel is still on the books with the German club but they are five points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and were beaten by Lazio in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie in midweek.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Moyes has guided the Hammers to eighth in the Premier League table and won the Europa Conference League last season, but they have not won a game in this calendar year. As a result, if form does not turn around, there is a possibility that Moyes could simply leave at the end of his contract at the end of the season. Tuchel may well have been relieved of his duties by then, especially if Bayern do not catch Leverkusen in the Bundesliga title race.
