Former Benfica Coach Roger Schmidt Linked with West Ham Job

West Ham's 1-3 loss to Leicester has further weakened Julen Lopetegui's position as the club's manager. The Hammers are reportedly evaluating potential replacements for the Spaniard.

Details: According to insider Florian Plettenberg, West Ham is considering former Benfica coach Roger Schmidt for the role. Schmidt was previously linked to the RB Leipzig job, though that move now seems unlikely. Additionally, reports suggest that West Ham is not particularly interested in former Porto manager Sérgio Conceição, but this information remains unconfirmed.

There is also speculation that Massimiliano Allegri is being considered by West Ham’s hierarchy, who are increasingly leaning toward parting ways with Lopetegui.

Reminder: West Ham has had a disappointing start to the season, including an early exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Liverpool. More concerningly, the Hammers sit 14th in the Premier League table with just 15 points from 13 matches, the result of four wins, six draws, and three losses.
