West Ham United head coach Julen Lopetegui faces an extremely uncertain future at the London Stadium.
Julen Lopetegui has failed miserably since taking over from David Moyes at West Ham in the summer.
The Hammers head coach is apparently not seeing eye to eye with director of football Tim Steidten, and all is clearly not well at the London Stadium right now.
West Ham have made a truly awful start to the 2024/25 Premier League season, with some terrible performances and results seriously hindering our hopes of a top seven finish.
The biggest problem the West Ham fans have with Lopetegui is that his team have no clear footballing identity.
Nobody knows what the Spaniard is actually trying to do or achieve, and neither does he by the looks of it.
I firmly believe that the Hammers owners need to part ways with Lopetegui very soon, before our situation gets a whole lot worse.
Potential Julen Lopetegui sack date as West Ham enter crucial run
The Hammers face a vital run of fixtures after the international break.
Our next two games are away at Newcastle and at home to Arsenal, before a much easier run that consists of games against Leicester, Wolves, Bournemouth, Brighton and Southampton.
Lopetegui will definitely be feeling the pressure right now.
The question is, will he be given a chance to prove himself in those five matches if we lose to Newcastle and Arsenal?
Claret and Hugh have mooted that Lopetegui could actually be moved on by the time December 1st rolls around, if we suffer defeats to the Toon and the Gunners.
Personally, I think that December 1st will be the perfect time to sack Lopetegui, unless we miraculously beat Newcastle and Arsenal of course.
If the Spaniard is moved on then, the new manager, whoever that may be, will have an extremely kind run of fixtures lying in wait.
I think most West Ham fans can see that we’re going nowhere under Julen Lopetegui.
His ‘footballing philosophy’ has been non-existent so far, and he still doesn’t know his best team, more than four months into his role as Hammers boss.
The sooner he’s gone the better as far as I’m concerned. Then hopefully David Sullivan will get a proper manager with exciting and progressive ideas to come in and take us forward as a club.
