Slaven Bilic’s job on a knife-edge as some reports claim he has already been SACKED as West Ham manager

While there has not yet been confirmation from the club, reports suggest the Croatian has been axed following a horrific 4-1 home defeat to Liverpool on Saturday

SLAVEN BILIC'S time is up with West Ham United, according to reports.

The 49-year-old has allegedly been axed as the Hammers plunge into the Premier League relegation zone.

While there has not yet been confirmation from the club, reports on Sunday night indicate his time at the London Stadium is at an end.

Everton's victory against Watford dropped West Ham into the Premier League relegation zone.

Bilic's position at the club was discussed in October, but the club's owners decided to give the Croat more time to improve.

He succeeded Sam Allardyce in June 2015 and led the Hammers to seventh place during his first season in charge.

However, an 11th-placed finish last season and a drab start to the campaign this year piled the pressure on the 49-year-old.

If the reports stand true, the club officials will be looking to call in his replacement ahead of the next fixture against Watford.

David Moyes has been earmarked as a potential replacement, with Phil Neville allegedly set to be part of the backroom team. 

The Croatian recently admitted he was under intense pressure at the London Stadium and was expected to talk to the board about his future.
