By Hee Chan Hwang West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui’s future is in doubt.
On July 7 (KST), The Guardian reported that the Hammers are considering sacking Lopetegui if they lose to Everton this weekend.
Lopetegui took over at West Ham ahead of this season. Lopetegui, who was on a break after leaving Wolverhampton, was a highly anticipated appointment. The Hammers have also thrown their support behind him. They invested over £100 million in the summer alone.
But it hasn’t quite lived up to expectations. The Hammers are in 14th place with only three wins, two draws, and five losses. The relegation zone is just six points above 18th-place Ipswich.
It’s still early in the season, but the Hammers could fall on their swords early. After parting ways with David Moyes, West Ham have only been with Lopetegui for about four months, 카지노사이트 but the Hammers are reportedly worried that they could find themselves in a relegation battle this season.
In particular,
Mohamed Coutinho and Edson Alvarez were sent off for ridiculous behavior, which some felt was a sign that Lopetegui wasn’t doing a good job with the team.
Lopetegui is known for his gift of Hwang Hee-chan. Lopetegui took charge of Wolverhampton in November 2022 and quickly turned around a team that was at the bottom of the league to stay up. He put his full trust in Hwang, who was struggling with frequent hamstring injuries. The following season, Hwang finally exploded onto the scene. This season, he has struggled somewhat, and his gift is in jeopardy.
If West Ham lose to Everton, the Hammers plan to search for a new manager during the international break.
