West Ham United have made a major managerial decision, with Julen Lopetegui set to take over from David Moyes as the club’s new manager. The deal is on the verge of being finalized, with Lopetegui emerging as the top choice for the Hammers.
Lopetegui, who has previously managed the Spanish national team and Sevilla, has reportedly turned down offers from other clubs in the Premier League, La Liga, and the Saudi Pro League to take the reins at West Ham. The club’s board received glowing references about Lopetegui from his time at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Moyes, who led West Ham to Europa League success, has faced challenges in the Premier League this season, with the team currently sitting in 14th place. The Scottish manager has overseen 13 league defeats, including a heavy 5-0 loss to Chelsea.
This will be Moyes’ second departure from West Ham, having previously managed the club in the 2017-18 season. The club also held discussions with Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim before ultimately deciding on Lopetegui as their next manager.
Fans will be eager to see how Lopetegui’s successful track record will translate to the Premier League and whether he can steer West Ham to greater success in the future. Stay tuned to Forever Sports Online for more updates on this developing story.
