Erstwhile Everton boss Ronald Koeman might have beaten West Ham manager Slaven Bilic to a keenly contested sack race, but the Croat’s job is far from safe either, as reports making the round claim he has just 2 games to save his Hammers managerial career.
West Ham play Tottenham in Wednesday’s Carabao League Cup round of 16 clash, before traveling to Selhurst Park on Saturday to face bottommost placed Crystal Palace.

Responding to the news that Bilic is on a 2-game grace, former West Ham striker Trevor Sinclair believes the players can rally round their boss by giving their best on the pitch in subsequent games.
Sinclair, who is now a respected pundit, analyst and columnist tweeted: “Timing is everything.
“Players need to show they’ve got the fight in them and have a right go for Slav”

It’s been a disappointing performance from the team as a collective entity, with a lack of cohesion and fighting spirit noticeable most times on the pitch.
At the moment, Bilic will only hope his charges step on the gas in the next 180 minutes of action, as his future could indeed depend on the next 2 clashes.
