The English club’s board looks for alternatives after a disappointing start to the season
Julen Lopetegui is in a critical moment as West Ham coach after a start to the season that has not met the club’s expectations. The board of directors of the London team would be evaluating his future and are already considering names to replace him in case the results do not improve in the coming weeks.
The Spanish coach, who came to the West Ham bench to place the team at the top of the Premier League, has failed to meet his objectives.
Currently, the team is closer to the relegation places than to those in European competitions. This fact especially worries the owners, who invested large amounts of money in signings during the summer market such as Kilman, Summerville or Füllkrug.
Among the options that the board is considering to replace Lopetegui, Edin Terzic, former Borussia Dortmund coach, stands out. However, other names on the list are not being ruled out as the club looks for a long-term solution.
Lopetegui’s future could be decided in the next few games, considered “life or death” for the coach. If he fails to turn the situation around and show improvement in the team’s performance, his time at West Ham could come to an end sooner than expected.
