The pressure on current manager Julen Lopetegui has intensified following West Ham’s heavy 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend. Reacting to the loss, Lopetegui stated, “We have to say sorry to our fans” reflecting the disappointment and frustration that has been building among supporters.
West Ham currently sits in 14th place in the Premier League standings, having accumulated only 11 points from their first 10 matches. With a crucial home game against Everton on Saturday, the club’s leadership will closely review Lopetegui’s position. Another defeat could mark the end of his tenure, prompting a potential change aimed at reversing the Hammers’ fortunes in this challenging Premier League campaign.
