West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui is facing pressure following a series of disappointing results. If the Spaniard does not turn the situation around soon, he could be at risk of dismissal.
“You’re always under pressure,” Lopetegui said in response to speculation about his job security.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, West Ham’s owners still support the coach, but the next three matches before the international break will be crucial for his future.
Lopetegui is fully aware of the high stakes. While his work ethic is respected within the club, the team’s progress has stagnated, prompting West Ham to consider potential successors.
Background: Former Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzić has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Lopetegui.
Currently, West Ham sits in 15th place in the Premier League with eight points. The team will face Manchester United in their next match on October 27.
