Few Premier League managers have been as closely linked to being sacked this autumn and winter as Lopetegui. David Moyes retired after last season in a decent 9th place. Former Real Madrid manager Lopetegui has not shown that he is heading for a top-ten finish, but the West Ham management has trusted Lopetegui to eventually reverse the trend. Then came the blow against Liverpool.
Liverpool sent West Ham’s home fans out of the London Stadium with a 0-5 loss. The anger and disappointment over the overrun was eased onto coach Julen Lopetegui. A deafening beeping concert followed the former Real Madrid coach out of the stadium.
The Telegraph reported the London club “freder” Lopetegui. West Ham were very active in the summer transfer market, the decision has been made according to the English media that Lopetegui will have more time to make the game pay off.
In recent days, however, something has happened.
On Wednesday afternoon, Lopetegui was due to hold a press conference, The Guardian reports this has been cancelled.
With an average of 1.18 points per game, it sounds like Julen Lopetegui still doesn’t get the confidence to continue.
