West Ham, Lopetegui risks everything: Newcastle and Arsenal will be decisive for the future

Twelve points in 11 games, mixed results and growing discontent among the fans. The era Lopetegui at West Ham it didn’t start in the best way and not even the success against Manchester United served to give the right push to a team that is struggling to assimilate the dictates of the new manager. That joy was followed by two disappointments: the clear defeat at Nottingham Forest and the home draw against Everton.

Now, the Spaniard’s bench – also sought by Milan in the summer – seems to be more at risk than ever: saved since the break, the former Real Madrid manager’s games are numbered: the matches against Newcastle and Arsenal will determine his fate, while the Londoners are five points above the relegation zone, very far from expectations.

In recent weeks the tabloids have insistently relaunched a name: it is that of Edin Terzic“going for a walk” after the experience with Borussia Dortmund, led to the Champions League final last season. Terzic is a well-known face in the home team Hammers: He was Slaven Bilic’s assistant from 2015 to 2017.
