West Ham’s head coach is not under pressure to get sacked despite a poor start to his Hammers career. That’s the message from a top-ranking club official who spoke exclusively to Claret & Hugh earlier today.
Julen Lopetegui has come under increasing scrutiny due to West Ham’s dismal start to the season, which includes losing the first three league home games—a club record.
The Spaniard’s backing comes after three days of whispers suggesting the club could be close to losing patience following the 3-0 Premier League defeat to Chelsea.
Speaking this morning, the club insider said, “At the moment, I accept it doesn’t look great, but it’s only five games in, and three were against Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Chelsea, who are all top-four clubs.”
The club remains confident that Lopetegui can turn things around and will continue to support him with the necessary patience. Even though West Ham travel to Anfield tomorrow in the Carabao Cup, there are easier Premier League games to follow, and it is hoped that results will improve.
