We at Sporten.com along with a number of other media assessed West Ham as a strong top five/six candidate this season after they brought in Julen Lopetegui this summer.
It has not gone so well. After 14 rounds played, they are in a modest 14th place with 15 registered points. And on Tuesday, Loptegui was mocked – by his own fans. “You’ll be sacked tomorrow,” chanted West Ham supporters as they lost to Leicester City away at the King Power Stadium yesterday.

The upturn for Ruud van Nistelrooy in his debut as Leicester manager and the downturn for Julen Loptegui’s is one step closer to being sacked.
Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg states that Denmark’s former national team manager, Kasper Hjulmand, is very relevant for the job on the day Julen Loptegui is fired.
In addition to Hjulmand, names such as Sergio Conceicao and Massimiliano Allegri have been linked to the West Ham job.
Kasper Hjulmans stepped down as Danish national team manager after this summer’s European Championship playoffs, where Denmark reached the round of 16.
