Bold move: West Ham may sack Lopetegui if they lose to Man City
West Ham’s recent 3-1 defeat to Liverpool marked the fifth time this season the team has suffered a loss by three or more goals. It seems that yet another painful defeat has tested the patience of the club’s hierarchy.
Details: According to GIVEMESPORT, club chairman David Sullivan initially expressed faith in Julen Lopetegui, believing the manager had steadied the ship following a four-match unbeaten run and had begun rebuilding relationships within the squad.
However, the loss to Liverpool has pushed Lopetegui to the brink. Sullivan is reportedly frustrated with how poorly the former Real Madrid coach’s tenure has unfolded as the transfer window approaches. A defeat in the upcoming match against Manchester City could result in Lopetegui’s dismissal.
Reminder: Lopetegui previously avoided discussing the transfer window, emphasizing that his primary goal was to instill confidence in his players.
