The third person in the Premier League? The 58-year-old former Real Madrid coach is about to be sacked! The summer window smashed 144 million and ranked 14th

On the evening of December 5, Beijing time, a number of British media reported that the Premier League powerhouse West Ham United was about to sack the team's coach Julen Lopetegui. The 58-year-old Spaniard will also become the third Premier League manager to step down this season, after Ten Hag and Steve Cooper (former Leicester City bosses). It is reported that former Chelsea manager Graham Potter will become the new manager of the "Hammers".

Born in 1966, Julen Lopetegui has coached many European powerhouses such as Real Madrid, Sevilla and Wolves. He was also the coach of the Spanish men's football team. Julen Lopetegui succeeded David Moyes as West Ham United boss in July. Lopetegui was on a two-year contract with an option for an additional one-year extension.

In order to support him, West Ham United spent 144 million euros this summer to bring in a number of powerful players: Kilman, Somerville, Phil Kruger, Wan-Bissaka, Guido Rodriguez, Todibo, Soler and others have joined.

However, after 14 rounds of the Premier League, Julen Lopetegui has led his team to a poor record of only 4 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats, and West Ham United have won only one of the last five league games. The team is currently 14th in the Premier League and their record is far from what they expected. Not only that, but Lopetegui also has a bad relationship with the player. In the heavy defeat to Arsenal, Lopetegui got into a heated altercation with defender Todibo at half-time.

Following the sacking of Julen Lopetegui, West Ham United will bring in former Chelsea boss Graham Potter. The latter has been at home since being sacked by the Blues in April 2023. And he was in charge of Brighton and had a very good performance.
