OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED : West Ham have agreed a deal in principle with Julen Lopetegui to take over from David Moyes as manager

Although he left Wolves three days before the 2023–24 season began,

Julen Lopetegui remained in England in an attempt to rejoin Premier League management;

David Moyes’s contract expires this summer, and he has been the subject of constant speculation on his future.

A deal in principle has been reached between West Ham and Julen Lopetegui for Lopetegui to succeed David Moyes as manager.

Since departing Wolves three days prior to the 2023–24 season,

Lopetegui has remained unemployed; nonetheless, he has persisted in residing in England in an

attempt to rejoin the Premier League managerial ranks.

After Moyes’ anticipated exit at the end of the current campaign, the 57-year-old, who has also coached Porto,

Spain, Real Madrid, and Sevilla throughout an impressive managerial career,

appears destined to take over at the London Stadium.

Moyes’s contract expires this summer, and concerns regarding his future have been raised all season long.

With West Ham having only won one of their last nine Premier League games—a 5-0 thumping at

the hands of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday—that conjecture has only grown in recent months.

When asked if he was frustrated by the club’s relationships with other managers after the game,

Moyes replied, “I’ll speak with the board at the conclusion of the season.” Then, we will do it.

“As the manager, I accept responsibility, but some of the players must do the same,

” he continued. I’m sorry for the supporters; my teams don’t typically lose to squads like these.

However, we lack some of the necessary components, such as leadership and mental toughness,

to avoid being repeatedly battered. All I can say is that I truly apologize for how the game transpired.”

It is reported that Lopetegui and West Ham reached an arrangement for

him to become head coach instead of manager, replacing Moyes.

In the event that Moyes is fired, Tim Steidten, the technical director,

will supervise the head coach closely and have greater influence over hiring.
