Wolves expert sounds grave warning to West Ham about appointing Julen Lopetegui
A Wolves expert has sounded a grave warning to West Ham about appointing Julen Lopetegui as fans voice concerns.
West Ham are on the hunt for a new manager to replace David Moyes and one name that’s been in the frame for some time is former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui.
Telegraph journalist Matt Law claimed a couple of months ago that the ex Wolverhampton Wanderers manager appealed to West Ham’s owners.
Former Spain, Real Madrid and Sevilla boss Lopetegui has kept his house in the UK in the hope of landing another Premier League job.
And there has been increasing speculation that he’s about to do just that with the Hammers.
West Ham were once again linked with Lopetegui at the weekend.
The prospect of the Hammers appointing the 57-year-old, who walked out on Wolves in August, is dividing West Ham fans.
His name was quickly forgotten when, on Monday night, coveted Sporting boss Ruben Amorim flew to London for talks with West Ham.
Lopetegui emerges as West Ham frontrunner
Less than 24 hours later, West Ham’s Amorim hopes were dead, though. And Lopetegui came back into the equation with The Guardian now reporting he is the preferred choice of majority owner David Sullivan.
When it was reported Lopetegui was going to snub AC Milan for West Ham, the Italian club’s fans were reportedly relieved.
West Ham’s own supporters are not particularly enamoured by Lopetegui potentially being named Moyes’ successor either.
