SAD News:Julen Lopetegui close to the sack as West Ham line up young manager to replace him…

West Ham United head coach Julen Lopetegui is a man under real pressure right now.

 

Julen Lopetegui has really struggled to oversee any kind of progress at all at West Ham, since he replaced David Moyes at the London Stadium.

 

 

 

Jaco Steinberg actually suggested on Saturday that a club that was run properly would already be sounding out replacements for the Spaniard.

 

The Hammers head coach looks like a dear in the headlights right now. He’s making bad decision after bad decision, and it looks like it will be a very long season if he remains at the helm.

 

The West Ham owners may well have to make a bold call soon.

And now the door is wide open for the Hammers to appoint the former Borussia Dortmund boss, after he admitted that he wants to manage in the Premier League.

 

He’s also available as a free agent for what it’s worth!

 

He’s a hugely exciting young manager who has already proven he has the ability to command the respect of a dressing room filled with big egos, whilst implementing an attractive style of football out on the pitch.

He nearly won the Bundesliga title in the 2022/23 season, and reached the Champions League final last term with Borussia Dortmund.

 

If Julen Lopetegui is sacked, which I think could well happen if we lose to Everton, Edin Terzic would be a fine appointment for West Ham in my eyes.
