Tim Steidten under huge West Ham United pressure in new developments
Tim Steidten is under increasing pressure at West Ham United amid on-field struggles, according to TBR Football.
The outlet reported via its website on 6 November that there is “huge” pressure on the technical director and manager Julen Lopetegui.
Steidten’s future at the London Stadium is under threat with the £100million splurge in the summer yet to bear fruit.
Tim Steidten under pressure at West Ham United
Steidten oversaw transfers for the Irons in the summer as they spent over £100million on the likes of Max Kilman, Crysencio Summerville and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The German was also the driving force behind the signings of Niclas Fullkrug and Luis Guilherme, who are yet to start a league game for the club.
However, it would be harsh to fire him considering it was David Sullivan’s decision to hire Lopetegui as David Moyes’s successor.
Steidten and Mark Noble wanted to bring in now-Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, but Sullivan opted for the Spaniard instead (talkSPORT).
The Hammers currently sit fourteenth in the table with 11 points in 10 games and Lopetegui has to take responsibility for that.

In other West Ham news, this former Premier League manager has emerged as a “sensational” option to replace Lopetegui.
