West Ham preferred candidate revealed as Julen Lopetegui nears sack

• Lopetegui under growing pressure at London Stadium after series of heavy defeats
• Behind the scenes tension not aiding Spaniard’s cause in east London
• West Ham considering move for former Chelsea boss Graham Potter

West Ham United have renewed their interest in former Chelsea head coach Graham Potter as they edge closer to sacking Julen Lopetegui

The pressure has been mounting on the Spaniard https://ufabet999.app After a series of heavy defeats. That have left the Hammers in 14th place in the Premier League table, just seven points above the drop zone.

Saturday’s 4-1 loss at Manchester City was the fifth time. That four or more goals have shipped by Lopetegui’s side in all competitions, and came just six days after a humiliating 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool.

The unrest among supporters at London Stadium has evident for a number of weeks, with performance levels way below.

What was expected of a side. Who spent over £150m in the summer transfer window. On the likes of Max Kilman, Niclas Fullkrug, Crysencio Summerville and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Multiple sources reported early on Monday that West Ham’s technical director. Tim Steidten, has been asked to stay away from the training ground as tensions rise behind the scenes, with the pair “not on good terms”.

Subsequent reports, including from The Guardian, have revealed. That West Ham’s board have met to discuss the long-term future of Lopetegui. Who has already given a stay of execution. After a dismal performance away at London rivals Tottenham Hotspur resulted in a heavy 4-1 defeat.

That a decision to part ways with Lopetegui has already made. Claiming Potter is in talks to take on the top job in east London. Edin Terzic and Max Allegri, formerly at Borussia Dortmund and Juventus respectively, have toute. But unlikely to take over.
