West Ham United already have an alternative to boss David Moyes.
The Hammers are sticking with the Scottish coach for the time being.
However, The Mail suggests that if Moyes is sacked, then Rafa Benitez is on standby and wants the job.
The former Liverpool and Everton coach would be drafted in to save the club from relegation.
The club's hierarchy still believes that Moyes can right the ship this season.
The Hammers are in the relegation zone after losing 2-0 to Tottenham at the weekend.
