SLAVEN BILIC is set to be sacked by West Ham in the coming days - and replaced by David Moyes.

The Hammers board have finally lost patience with the Croat, and he faces the chop during the upcoming international break.

And West Ham are lining up the ex-Manchester United boss as his replacement until the end of the season.

Phil Neville will also be part of the sacked Sunderland chief's backroom team, according to reports.

Bilic appeared defeated after watching his side fall to a 4-1 home defeat against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

After the match he admitted that he "has to talk to the chairman" and it remains "a very difficult situation for me."

The thumping at the London Stadium leaves West Ham one point above the drop zone after just two wins in 11 matches.

Moyes, his potential replacement, has been out of work since his Sunderland side were relegated at the end of last season.

But the 54-year-old is desperate to get back into work and would fancy himself to steer the Hammers further up the table.

It is believed he would be offered a temporary role until the end of the season with the prospect of staying on permanently should he impress the board and supporters.

Everton are also thought to have Moyes on their managerial shortlist as they look to appoint a permanent boss.

The Scot spent 11 years at Goodison Park before leaving for Manchester United and boasts a strong relationship with club chairman Bill Kenwright.
