West Ham sack Julen Lopetegui after horror start to the season | OneFootball

West Ham United have sacked coach Julen Lopetegui after a nightmare first half of the season.

The former Wolves boss had already become the first manager in West Ham's history to lose his first three Premier League games, and he went on to win just three of their opening 10 games.

After a week of speculation following a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City, the club finally opted to pull the trigger on the former Sevilla and Real Madrid boss, relieving him of his duties.

Lopetegui leaves the club languishing in 14th place having lost nine times following their massive spend over the summer transfer window.

Reports from various outlets suggest that Graham Potter will be announced as his replacement in the coming hours.

The club also confirmed that Assistant Head Coach Pablo Sanz, Head of Performance Oscar Caro, Head Analyst Juan Vicente Peinado, Fitness Coach Borja De Alba and Technical Coach Edu Rubio have also left with immediate effect.
