Before the start of the current season, London West Ham once again invested a lot of money in its project, but so far this has not improved the team’s results in any way.

After 20 matches played in the championship, the “Hammers” are in fourteenth position and are much closer to the relegation zone than to the dream zone of the European Cups.

This in turn puts pressure on head coach Julen Lopetegui’s position at the club and the management will look at the results of the upcoming matches against Birmingham Aston Villa in the FA Cup and derbies against Fulham and Crystal Palace in the Premier League in the context of a possible sacking of the Spaniard.

All of a sudden, the “Iron” already have backup options – they are going against the former coach of London Chelsea and Brighton Graham Potter, as well as the former coach of Shakhtar Donetsk, French Lille and Italian Roma and Milan Paulo Fonseca, who was recently dismissed from the “Rossoneri”.
