Julen Lopetegui and Tim Steidten under serious pressure at West Ham as David Sullivan makes decision
- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
After 10 games played, West Ham are 14th in the Premier League – a far cry from the improvement David Sullivan expected under Julen Lopetegui.
Lopetegui’s much-needed 2-1 win over Manchester United was followed up by West Ham losing convincingly away to Nottinghamꩲ Forest, a sign of ꦓthe times.

As a result, TBR Football understands that Lopetegui goes intoܫ the weekend against Everton knowing that anything other than a win co❀uld cost him his job.
However, Lope🦄tegui is not alone in bei𝔍ng under huge pressure at the London Stadium.
Tim Steidten is also under increasing pressure and his West Ham future is far𒉰 from secure.
Tim Steidten wasn’t behind West Ham’s Julen Lopetegui appointment
Lopetegui was hand-picked by David Sullivan to replace David Moyes after he held face-to-face talks with the Spaniard bef🅷ore la⭕st season finished.
Sullivan w𝓰as🅠 criticised by a number of Hammers fans given that Lopetegui’s deal was agreed before it was confirmed that Moyes would be leaving.

That being said, Steidten was among a numb🐻er of senior figures at West Ham who were pushing for other options, before Sullivan opted for Lopetegui.
And despite only arriving in the summer, Lopetegui is now🦩 under huge pressure after the cl🌼ub’s worst ever start to a Premier League campaign.
They have since recorded wins over Ipswich Town and Man United as mentioned, but West Ham are s✃till way off where they expect themselves to be.
Julen Lopetegui could be sacked if West Ham lose to Everton
TBR can confirm that West Ham’s tꦍie with Everton this weekend is🙈 a huge one for Lopetegui.
Defeat would almost certainly🍨 see Sullivan pull the plug on his tenu൲re in east London.
Sources say that Sullivan would do so reluctantly, but he acknowledges that the form of the side is way off what is expected – especially after major summer 💖spending which saw in excess of £100m spent.
That sum also explains the pressure t🅰hat has arrived on Steidten’s doorstep.
The German was forceꦰful in his pursuit of both Niclas Fullkrug and Luis Guilherme, but neither has startওed a league game since their arrival and the West Ham hierarchy are far from happy.
