Chris Sutton says whether West Ham should sack Julen Lopetegui after Leicester City defeat
After their troubling 3-1 defeat away to Leicester City, West Ham United are now only two points ahead of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side sat in 14th place.
Julen Lopetegui’s start to life in east London has been something of a disaster – West Ham have gone backwards fro𝓰m their time under David Moye♑s.
T💎ogether with Tim Steidten, Lopetegui was backed in th𝓡e summer – the likes of Max Kilman followed the Spaniard from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

And𓆉 yet West Ham have seen no reward from their heavy investment, losing seven of their 14 Premier League games under their new manager.
Chris Sutton explains why Julen Lopetegui’s appointment was always destined to fail
With that in mind, Chris Sutton discussed L꧂opetegui’s perils on following West Ham’s defeat to Leicester.
The pundit shared his opinion tha💮t Lopetegui never looked like the ideal candidꦍate for West Ham even before this terrible run of form.
Sutton said: “It never felt like there was a connection between Julen Lopetegui and West Ham fans from the start. They wanted so🎐meone different to David Mꩵoyes in terms of style of play.
“But anyone who has ܫwatched Lopetegui teams down the years would have known what he was going to bring. It wouldn’t be very d💜ifferent from what Moyes in terms of how they played.
“Also𓆏, there’s been so many stories around Lopetegui’s future in the past few weeks, I th🐭ink there should be something in it. I think the West Ham board are looking already at who might be able to replace him.
“It’s not been one or two mischievous journalists, there’s been too many stories in the recent weeks to make me th🐠ink that they are looking now. They are beginning 🐻to look a bit more seriousness at what might be next.”
Who could replace Julen Lopetegui at West Ham?
Interestingly, Sergio Conceicao is interested in the We﷽st Ham job, a manager who is already♛ popular among the club’s top brass.
But breaking down where it’s all gone wrong for Lopetegui, there🍃 has 🐼to be some attention on the summer transfer window.
Guido Rodrigu𒐪ez for example now appears like an ill-advised signing – West Ham quickly returned to the likes of Tomas Soucek.
Incidentally, Rodriguez’s agents have spoken on his future, another summer arrival who may eventually seeꦛk a new challenge.
All is no🌟t well at the London Stadium right now, and it might be time for another fresh start.
