West Ham United have offered a coaching role to Teddy Sheringham.
The former England star, 48, had three years as a Hammer from 2004.
He was contacted by West Ham manager Sam Allardyce last week and asked if he would take the new role as the club try to produce more attacking football next season.
Sheringham said: "I spoke to Sam and asked for a few days to think it over. It certainly appeals.
"The job is on a part-time basis, a couple of days a week and I'll be on the bench for home games.
"The club is not far from me and one for which I have a lot of affection. I really enjoyed my time there.
"It is also a chance for me to experience the coaching side of the game, something I have never really done before. I would enjoy working with the front players."
