West Ham make contact with Roma coach Mourinho

Roma coach Jose Mourinho is being linked with West Ham United.

The Hammers have supposedly already made an offer to the Roma boss.

Mourinho has another season remaining on his contract at the Stadio Olimpico and it would be a shock if he left.

The former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss is happy at the Serie A side despite the offer, reports LaRoma24.

The Italian side are in the fight to qualify for next season's Champions League, sitting fourth in Serie A and they also remain in the Europa League.

However, money is supposedly tight after a Financial Fair Play breach in 2020 and the club may have to offload players, which could make Mourinho unsettled.

West Ham are on the lookout for a new manager with pressure on Moyes ramping up after a 4-0 loss away at Brighton.

Fans have become disgruntled at a perceived negative style and a lack of results with a small section of supporters even chanting for the Scot's sacking at the weekend.

Despite a summer outlay of over £100million, the side languish in 16th, just a point above the relegation zone.
