Former Fiorentina and Italy coach Cesare Prandelli is in contact with West Ham United.

TMW says West Ham intermediaries have been in contact with Prandelli about the prospect of a move to London. The Italian is a free agent after this season's dismissal at Genoa.

Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini earned a stay of execution on Saturday with victory at Southampton.

However, the Chilean remains under pressure and could yet lose his job before Christmas if results do not fall his way in the coming week.

For his part, Prandelli is open to the prospect of a first job in the Premier League.
