West Ham are considering whether to sack Julen Lopetegui following Saturday's heavy defeat at Manchester City.

West Ham United head coach Julen Lopetegui has admitted he is “not optimistic” about the nature of Jean-Clair Todibo’s injury. The defender was forced off in the 53rd minute of Saturday’s 4-1 defeat at Manchester City and was replaced by Konstantinos Mavropanos.

West Ham are in talks to appoint Graham Potter as their manager, with Julen Lopetegui on the brink of being sacked. Lopetegui has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks and Saturday’s 4-1 defeat away at Manchester City could prove to be the final straw.

West Ham United has reportedly made a big decision by parting ways with manager Julen Lopetegui after only eight months in charge. The Spanish coach was brought in last summer to replace David Moyes but failed to meet expectations.

West Ham have sacked Julen Lopetegui after a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City at the weekend, reports say. The east London outfit already have a replacement in mind to step in with former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter the leading candidate.

West Ham United technical director Tim Steidten has decided to step away from the club’s training ground, as manager Julen Lopetegui attempts to improve performances and results.
