Edin Terzic jets into UK as Julen Lopetegui sack pressure grows at West Ham United

West Ham fans would likely replace Julen Lopetegui with Edin Terzic in a heartbeat amid growing frustrations at the London Stadium.

It is understood that the former Borussia Dortmund is open to a switch to East London, as per Sami Mokbel, having been out of work since July of this year.

Fans are only becoming more disgruntled with the new head coach, with the Hammers sitting just five points above the Premier League relegation zone after 11 matches.

The Hammers are already said to be considering a move for Terzic if David Sullivan chooses to sack Lopetegui after just a few months in charge [Patrick Berger], and the latest update will send rumours into overdrive.

According to BILD [13 November], while AS Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin are set to meet with Terzic, the 42-year-old is currently in Manchester to teach a lecture.

West Ham United to seal Edin Terzic as Julen Lopetegui replacement?

Of course, Terzic being in the UK amid links to the West Ham job will likely be hugely coincidental, fans will be holding onto hope that he swings by the London Stadium during his trip.

The fanbase is growing tired of the new head coach, even after just a few months in charge, with some even suggesting that David Moyes returning for a third spell would be better than the current situation.

If an opportunity to sack Lopetegui and hire Terzic were to come along for the Hammers, fans would likely be pleading for their owner to take decisive action and bring the German in.

During two spells at Borussia Dortmund, the manager maintained 66.5 per cent and 66.9 per cent win rates, also winning the German Cup and German Super Cup.

Despite a number of exciting signings during the summer transfer window, Lopetegui has failed to impress at the London Stadium and is running out of time to save himself.
