The main contender is Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso, who took over the team in October last year. During this short period, the Spaniard managed to lift Leverkusen out of the relegation zone and lead the team to the Europa League semifinals.
In addition, West Ham are confident that Xabi Alonso will not need to adapt to the Premier League for a long time, as he defended the colors of Liverpool during his playing career.
It will be recalled that after 30 rounds, West Ham ranks 15th, with 31 points.
