One name high on their shortlist is Michael Carrick, a former Manchester United star and a promising manager at Middlesbrough.
Carrick, a beloved figure at Old Trafford, enjoyed a glittering playing career before transitioning into coaching.
Since taking over at Middlesbrough, he has transformed the team into genuine promotion contenders, impressing with his tactical acumen and ability to inspire players.
The former England international has even been linked with a move back to Old Trafford in the recent past.
West Ham reportedly value Carrick’s ties to the club, given his early playing days with the Hammers.
Michael Carrick came through the youth ranks at West Ham and played with the likes of a young trio Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole and Frank Lampard at Upton Park.
The former United captain spent five years with West Ham before moving to London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
If Lopetegui fails to deliver against Wolves, Carrick could emerge as the leading candidate to step into the managerial role at West Ham, according to the Mirror.
The 43-year-old’s growing reputation in management and his history with both West Ham and Manchester United make him a compelling option for the London club.
