Julen Lopetegui sack update emerges at West Ham United with decision made
Julen Lopetegui knows when West Ham will sack him given the club’s poor start to the season, according to Hammers News.
The news outlet claimed on 26 October that a source close to Tim Steidten has relayed the information to them as red flags were raised after the performance against Tottenham.
There’s understood to be a lack of progress on the field of play and that has not helped the Spaniard adapt to life at the London Stadium.
Julen Lopetegui may just have one game to save his West Ham job
Lopetegui’s time at the club hangs in the balance, with the board possibly setting a benchmark performance against Manchester United as a critical evaluation point for his continuation as manager.
Following a disappointing start to the season, characterised by inconsistent results and tactical struggles, the pressure has mounted on Lopetegui.
The upcoming match against Manchester United is not just another game but a litmus test for his strategic acumen and ability to motivate the team.
If West Ham fail to display significant improvement or secure a result that reflects progress, the board might deem this as sufficient grounds for dismissal.
This scenario stems from a broader context of the club’s expectations for an immediate turnaround in performance and results, especially after a significant investment in the squad.
It would be wise for the club to have replacements handy and David Sullivan needs to prepare a shortlist along with Steidten.
