“Another FAILURE in West Ham?” – West Ham reveals INTEREST to APPOINT Ex-Premier League manager who FAILED in his last EPL club, as REPLACEMENT for Lopetegui.

The 2024/25 season has been disappointing for West Ham United, and manager Julen Lopetegui may be facing the sack if the team loses to Everton on Saturday. Lopetegui, who replaced David Moyes in the summer, has struggled to deliver results, with West Ham sitting 14th in the Premier League after only three wins from ten matches. The club’s poor form, coupled with an early Carabao Cup exit, has raised doubts among fans and management about the direction the team is heading. A defeat against Everton could prompt West Ham to make a managerial change during the upcoming international break.

Lopetegui’s appointment was initially seen as a move toward a fresh, dynamic style of play that some fans felt was lacking under Moyes. However, West Ham’s struggles have persisted, leaving the team in a precarious position in the league despite a summer transfer window investment exceeding £100 million. With disappointing performances, including a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, West Ham’s season has not met the high expectations set after the club’s heavy spending.

If Lopetegui is dismissed, one of the potential replacements is former Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter. Potter, who achieved success at Brighton before struggling at Chelsea, has been linked to the West Ham job as he seeks a return to management. Known for his tactical intelligence and ability to work with limited resources, Potter may appeal to West Ham as a candidate capable of stabilizing the club. Additionally, former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic is another name reportedly considered for the position if a vacancy arises.

The West Ham board is reportedly hopeful that Lopetegui can turn things around, but they are prepared to explore other options if the Everton match results in another loss. Fans are divided on whether Potter would be the right choice for the club, given his success at Brighton but mixed performance at Chelsea. Despite Potter’s challenges at Stamford Bridge, his reputation as a forward-thinking English manager could make him an attractive option for West Ham’s leadership.

With high expectations for the season and a strong squad assembled, the pressure is on Lopetegui to produce results quickly. West Ham’s board is wary of another poor performance against Everton, as it could cement the club’s decision to part ways with the Spanish coach and pursue a new managerial direction.
