\"Sam Allardyce was sacked as Blackburn boss in December<\/span> <\/p>\n

West Ham hope to appoint their new manager by the end of next week, BBC Sport understands.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest former Blackburn, Newcastle and Bolton boss Sam Allardyce is in the frame to succeed Avram Grant.<\/p>\n

West Ham sacked Israeli Grant after they were relegated from the Premier League with one game remaining.<\/p>\n

Caretaker manager Kevin Keen, who took charge for that game, a 3-0 home defeat by Sunderland, has stated his desire to lead the Hammers<\/a> in the Championship.<\/p>\n

However, Keen has no formal managerial experience except for with West Ham’s reserve team.<\/p>\n

Allardyce was surprisingly sacked from his role as Blackburn manager in December<\/a> after three defeats in five games, with Rovers 13th in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

The Lancashire club slipped deeper into the relegation battle following Allardyce’s exit and only guaranteed another season in the top flight by beating Wolves 3-2 at Molinuex on the final day of the season.<\/p>\n

Other managers who have been linked with the vacant post include Chris Hughton and Paul Lambert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
