Edin Terzic is a candidate at English Premier League club West Ham United - should the Londoners react to their current form crisis by sacking their coach.

West Ham have won just one of their last four league games. On Saturday, they suffered a 5-2 defeat in front of their own fans against city rivals Arsenal. Stting 14th in the table, the Hammers are only six points clear of a direct relegation place.

The English media recently reported that Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui has been counted out. The 58-year-old only took over as coach in the summer, succeeding David Moyes.

Should he be sacked, Edin Terzic is one of the candidates to succeed him, according to Sky. In the previous season, the 42-year-old led Borussia Dortmund to the UEFA Champions League final. After that, he surprisingly parted ways.

Terzic previously worked for West Ham United between August 2015 and November 2017. At that time, the German-Croatian was assistant coach to Slaven Bilic.
