Following West Ham United's shambolic defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, Nuno Espirito Santo has been linked with replacing Graham Potter. 

Nuno is available after being sacked by Nottingham Forest, but a manager who is currently employed is also in the frame to be the next West Ham boss. 

According to Football Insider, "Kieran McKenna was a surprise visitor in the West Ham United boardroom during their defeat to Tottenham on Saturday." 

Would Kerian McKenna be a good fit at West Ham United?

It will not fill West Ham fans with optimism that the man who was relegated with Ipswich Town last season could be their next manager. 

However, McKenna is still a highly rated coach, and Ipswich even stuck with him to guide them back in the Championship.

The Tractor Boys have not had the best of starts to their season back in the second tier, but did manage an emphatic 5-0 win over Sheffield United last Friday. 

McKenna has worked wonders at Ipswich, taking them from League One all the way to the Premier League

His CV also includes being the assistant manager at Manchester United to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Jose Mourinho, Ralf Rangnick, and Michael Carrick.
