Julen Lopetegui there is no risk of jumping. Despite the growing alarm at West Ham for the terrible start to the season, the Spanish coach – who was also close to joining Milan – can breathe a sigh of relief. Sure, he Hammers they are struggling a lot this season and 15th place in the standings proves it, especially after the big defeat against Tottenham last Saturday. Yet, according to reports from The Guardianthe club has no intention of changing.
West Ham’s position
On the contrary, he wants to give Lopetegui time after naming him last summer as David Moyes’ successor. In fact, as explained by the English tabloid, the West Ham board of directors is not used to making hasty decisions and is well aware of the complicated situation of the former Real Madrid of having to include 10 summer signings in the team’s mechanisms.
Deadline set?
However, there is no hiding a certain concern about the results achieved by Lopetegui so far, which is why if there are no improvements before Christmas the club’s position in this regard could also change. The former Wolves manager has need for favorable results before the November international break and will have Nottingham Forest and Everton at home on its way. Precisely in these intersections, a strong signal from the team and Lopetegui will be needed, considering the two matches within West Ham’s reach. Certainly better than the infernal start that has already seen Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester City and Spurs on their path. In addition to the elimination from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Liverpool with a resounding 5-1.
