Lopetegui on the brink of dismissal as West Ham targets 42-year-old replacement, according to reports.
West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui is currently facing significant pressure.
Julen Lopetegui has faced significant challenges in achieving progress at West Ham since taking over from David Moyes at the London Stadium.
Jaco Steinberg suggested on Saturday that a properly managed club would already be considering potential replacements for the Spanish manager.
Lopetegui appears overwhelmed and is making a series of poor decisions, indicating that the season could be very difficult if he remains in charge.
The West Ham owners may soon need to make a decisive move, and reports suggest that David Sullivan and his team may have a contingency plan ready.
Lopetegui’s tenure as the Hammers’ boss has been disappointing since he assumed the role.
While new managers deserve time to implement their ideas, the main issue is the lack of clarity regarding Lopetegui’s vision; it’s uncertain if he even knows what he aims to achieve.
The team lacks a coherent identity, and the players seem disoriented on the field.
Recent claims indicate that Lopetegui’s position at West Ham could be in jeopardy.
According to Fabrizio Romano, he is on the verge of being sacked, with the club’s owners reportedly considering Edin Terzic as a replacement.
The 42-year-old Terzic was previously linked to the managerial role before Lopetegui was appointed, and now he could step in as the new manager, especially since he has expressed interest in managing in the Premier League.
Terzic is currently available as a free agent, making him an appealing candidate.
He is an exciting young manager who has already demonstrated his ability to gain the respect of players, even those with big personalities, while promoting an attractive style of play.
Last season, he nearly clinched the Bundesliga title and guided Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final.
If West Ham decides to part ways with Lopetegui, particularly after a potential loss to Everton, I believe that Edin Terzic would be an excellent choice for the club moving forward.
