Sport Nation 2Richard Keys has recently proposed Frank Lampard as a potential replacement for Julen Lopetegui at West Ham United amid increasing troubles for the Spanish manager. Currently sitting in fourteenth place in the Premier League, West Ham’s performance this season has sparked concerns, with Keys commenting that the team’s struggles are self-inflicted due to the club’s decision to part ways with David Moyes. He shared his lack of sympathy for the club, suggesting things may deteriorate before they improve.
Keys, a vocal supporter of Moyes, criticized West Ham’s decision to move on from the former manager, expressing that the team’s current trajectory under Lopetegui is not what the club had hoped for. He floated Lampard’s name as a possible solution, though this idea has been met with skepticism.
Lampard initially gained praise during his time managing Derby County, but his subsequent stints with Chelsea and Everton raised questions about his effectiveness. His time at Everton, where he managed only twelve wins out of forty-four matches, and his brief, underwhelming return to Chelsea in 2023, have left doubts about his ability to lead West Ham out of its current struggles. Many fans and analysts argue that Lampard may lack the experience necessary to turn things around for West Ham.
While Keys’ suggestion has generated interest, West Ham appears more focused on finding alternative solutions should Lopetegui’s performance fail to improve. Reports indicate the club has warned Lopetegui that his position is at risk if results do not change soon. Names like Edin Terzic have emerged as potential candidates to step in, should West Ham decide to part ways with Lopetegui.
