The continuity of Julen Lopetegui at the helm of West Ham hangs by a thread. According to reports from the English press, the Spanish coach is facing a critical situation in his next match against Everton. Another stumble could lead to his dismissal, as the club is seriously considering a change in the coaching staff to try to turn the season around.

Currently, the London team holds an uncomfortable position in the Premier League table, sitting in 14th place with an uneven record of three wins, two draws, and five losses. This performance has raised concerns within the board, which expected a better performance after the Spaniard took over the 'Hammers', especially in such a competitive tournament as the English one.

Lopetegui's future is at stake

The initial expectations were high, but the lack of consistency and adverse results have cast doubt on the coach's ability to steer the situation. As reported in 'The Guardian', in case of not securing a victory in the clash against Everton, the club could opt for a change in the coaching staff to inject energy and new ideas that enable the team to climb out of the relegation zone and avoid major issues.

Thus, the duel against Everton looms as decisive for Lopetegui's future at West Ham, with pressure on his shoulders to achieve an immediate turnaround and reverse the course of a campaign that, so far, has not met the club's expectations.
