5 managers West Ham United could have appointed instead of Moyes

#2 Luiz Felipe Scolari

Scolari would have had a point to prove in the EPL

Scolari -- who departed Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande earlier this week -- would've been an interesting choice for the Hammers. The Brazilian's most impressive honour of a list that is seemingly never-ending is the World Cup which he won in 2002 with his home country.

In more recent times, he has won three Chinese Super League titles in three years, the AFC Champions League, the Chinese FA Cup and the Chinese Super Cup (twice). This was up against a Shanghai side that contained the likes of Oscar and Hulk, so a superb achievement to get that many trophies in the time he was there.

Scolari is coming to the back end of his career, will he go for one last big job and finally attempt to conquer European club football?

Senior Games Managed (from 2001 exc FC Bunyodkor): 401 | Wins: 210 | Draws: 100 | Losses: 91

His one and only attempt was at Chelsea back in the 08/09 season where he safely guided them through their Champions League group but was relieved of his duties with the London side sat in 4th place in the Premier League, ten points off the pace. His side also went out the League Cup at the hands of Burnley and embarrassingly drew at home to Southend in the FA Cup.

With Scolari's aforementioned trophy cabinet full to the brim, he would've been one manager who would have instantly commanded the respect of the dressing room; he would've brought an air of calmness to the club and would have been able to pull a few strings in the January transfer market as well. Could West Ham's loss be Everton's gain?
