West Ham could review Julen Lopetegui’s job security if there is not an improvement by Christmas, Jacob Steinberg reports.

 

According to the Guardian journalist via the paper’s website on 21 October the Spaniard is under major pressure due to poor results but isn’t in danger of losing his job imminently.

 

 

 

The Irons face Manchester United on Sunday (27 October) as the first of nine games between now and Christmas, with a 10th on Boxing Day at Southampton.

 

West Ham currently sit 15th in the Premier League in the wake of the 4-1 loss at Tottenham on 19 October, winning just twice in eight games, and the hierarchy’s support for the new manager could change if the situation hasn’t picked up in the next two months.

If the past couple of years have proven anything at the London Stadium it is that the Irons board don’t exactly move swiftly and decisively when it comes to changing managers.

However, the choice on whether to move on from David Moyes came against a backdrop of a previous track record of success in charge, and a European trophy win that altered the situation.

 

 

So far Lopetegui hasn’t really achieved anything in charge of the Hammers so it should be a much easier decision if the time comes.

It is probably right not to pull the plug yet when Tim Steidten has just signed so many players for the new man, and part of the £100million-plus spend could be wasted if they are not be fancied by a replacement.
