Julen Lopetegui’s relationship with West Ham technical director Tim Steidten has been called into question amid growing pressure over his future at the club.
Mick Brown, who worked as a senior scout at the London Stadium until he left alongside David Moyes in June and remains very well-connected at the club, exclusively told Football Insider that their poor start to the season has led to a tense relationship.
Steidten was given the job to overhaul Lopetegui’s first-team squad during the summer, but several of the signings have failed to click, leaving the boss frustrated.
This, combined with the Hammers having won just three of their first 11 Premier League games, has led to pressure growing on the manager’s position.
