According to The Evening Standard, West Ham could confirm the appointment of Julen Lopetegui as their next manager in order to offer David Moyes a fitting send-off.
Before their final Premier League home game of the season on Saturday, May 11, against Luton Town, the Irons could formally announce Lopetegui’s employment.
It is widely anticipated that Moyes will leave the London Stadium at the conclusion of this season, but some club members are pushing for a formal declaration to confirm his departure.
West Ham will announce David Moyes’ departure and successor.
It appears that West Ham has found their guy in Lopetegui; the only things left to decide are when and how to make two very significant announcements.
Verifying Lopetegui’s appointment as manager might be viewed as the first stage, since it removes a highly sought-after manager from the market and enables the Hammers to begin their summer transfer plans.
However, their most pressing issue should be to ensure that Moyes receives a send-off befitting of his achievements at the London Stadium.
The Irons have now conceded five goals in a Premier League game three times in as many games, and Sunday’s (5 May) 5-0 hammering by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge made it clear that Moyes’ future is not looking good.
There’s no doubting that Moyes has improved things at the London Stadium, even though it appears like his tenure there is coming to an end rather forgetfully. With his victory in the UEFA Conference League Final fresh in everyone’s memories, the Scot ought to receive the greatest send-off possible this weekend against Luton.
