Zenit St Petersburg coach Andre Villas-Boas is on the radar of West Ham United.

The Daily Star Sunday says Sam Allardyce is expected to be sacked on Monday - regardless of today's result against Newcastle United.

Villas-Boas, 37, has just won the title with Zenit St Petersburg and was criticised for his style.

But he remains determined to prove himself in the Premier League after disappointing spells with Chelsea and Tottenham.

West Ham have asked about Real Sociedad's David Moyes and Napoli's Rafa Benitez but both have shunned the club so far.
