Slaven Bilic has emerged as the front runner to replace Sam Allardyce as manager of West Ham United.

Big Sam confirmed that he will be leaving West Ham at the end of the season after the Hammers 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United.

Bilic recently lost the Istanbul derby against Galatasaray ending the Black Eagles chances of a runners up place.

The Croatian national team manager announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season.

The Beşiktaş head coach maintained an undefeated home record against English sides in European competition this season.
