Jose Mourinho could be on his way back to the Premier League with West Ham considering a potential managerial change.
The Portuguese tactician is currently without a club after being dismissed by Fenerbahce shortly before the new Super Lig campaign.
Mourinho has been linked with several jobs since, and reports suggest he would be open to managing West Ham United, reports West Ham Zone.
That puts pressure on current boss Graham Potter, who is still battling to prove himself despite a big recent victory.
A 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest has given Potter some breathing room, but uncertainty over his long-term future remains.
Mourinho Interest Grows
Alan Brazil believes Mourinho’s agent will contact West Ham if there is any indication the Hammers are considering changes.
West Ham could benefit from Mourinho’s vast experience, with the former Chelsea and Manchester United coach renowned for organising difficult-to-beat teams.

Ex-Premier League midfielder Allen insists supporters would welcome results over style, even if Mourinho’s pragmatic tactics divide opinion.
“Fans want points right now, not pretty football,” he told West Ham Zone, stressing Mourinho guarantees stability and survival.
Talks Could Open Soon
West Ham face Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Everton after the international break in games that could shape Potter’s tenure.
If results turn, Mourinho is expected to be ready to step in, with talks potentially opening while Potter remains in charge.
