Marcelo Bielsa reportedly covets the West Ham United managerial vacancy.

The Daily Mirror suggests that the Argentine tactician is eager to make the move to England and test himself in the Premier League with the Hammers.

After it was confirmed that Sam Allardyce has left Upton Park after four years in east London, Bielsa reportedly threw his hat into the ring to succeed the 60-year old.

Former Argentina, Chile and Athletic Bilbao boss Bielsa spent last season in charge of Marseille who finished fourth on the Ligue 1 table.
