The international break will come at exactly the wrong time for Julen Lopetegui if West Ham lose to Everton this Saturday, as it will give the Hammers board time to review the season so far, and likely end up replacing the Spaniard, potentially with a coach who was in charge of a national team at Euro 2024.

After 10 Premier League games, the Hammers have just 10 points and are way down in 14th position. Hardly the ‘new manager bounce’ that the East London club might have expected.
Everton, themselves underperforming over the past couple of seasons, will scrap for every point under Sean Dyche, and that’ll be a worry for Lopetegui who has consistently seen his players unable to follow his instructions.
West Ham ace’s stupidity hands Lopetegui major problem ahead of Everton test. Find out who it is here.
None of those named are likely to enthuse the long-suffering supporters, particularly when you consider that both Ruben Amorim and Hansi Flick were turned down by chairman, David Sullivan.
Amorim is set to take over at Man United, after demolishing rivals, Man City, in the Champions League in the past week, whilst Flick set an all-time record with Barcelona after the Catalans scored five against Red Star on Wednesday night.
