Julen Lopetegui‘s continuity at the helm of West Ham United is in danger and could depend on the result of the next match against Everton. A defeat against the Liverpool team could lead to the dismissal of the Spanish coach.
Since his arrival at the London club, Lopetegui has had difficulties implementing his style of play. Currently, West Ham is in fourteenth position in the Premier League with only 11 points, six above the relegation zone.
The West Ham board have shown patience with the manager, but the recent 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest has increased the pressure on the Basque. The next match against Everton is considered decisive within the London team and a new defeat could lead the club to look for replacements on the bench.
Among the possible replacements there are already several candidates such as Graham Potter and Edin Terzic, although there are still no official confirmations in this regard. Lopetegui’s situation will be evaluated after the game against Everton, and the result could determine his future at the club.
Therefore, a victory would not only relieve the pressure on the coach, but would also be essential to move away from the relegation places in the Premier League.
