West Ham have sacked manager Julen Lopetegui after just six months of appointment. Former Wolves boss Lopetegui, 58, was appointed in May following the departure of David Moyes but officially took charge on 1 July.
The Hammers won just six Premier League games during the Spaniard’s tenure.Saturday’s 4-1 defeat by Manchester City was a ninth loss in 20 league games this season and left the club 14th – seven points above the relegation zone.
The club have held talks with former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter about succeeding Lopetegui, initially on a short-term deal.
West Ham said in a statement: “The first half of the 2024/25 season has not aligned with the club’s ambitions, and the club has therefore taken action in line with its objectives.”
