West Ham have engaged in promising discussions with former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui as a potential replacement for David Moyes this summer. Although no final decision has been made, Lopetegui has made a strong impression during talks. Sporting manager Ruben Amorim and Lille manager Paulo Fonseca are also under consideration but concerns remain over the financial implications of acquiring Amorim.

Reports suggest Amorim may have reservations about joining West Ham despite being highly regarded. Moyes departure seems inevitable following recent poor results. Lopetegui with Premier League experience is favored by West Ham’s co-owner David Sullivan, despite some reservations within the club. Other candidates include Hansi Flick, Graham Potter, Steve Cooper and Marco Silva.
