Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui has agreed terms with English Premier League (EPL) side West Ham to become the new head coach, replacing David Moyes from next season.
Recall that under-fire David Moyes accused his West Ham flops of failing to take “responsibility” as the pressure mounted on the under-fire boss following Sunday’s 5-0 thrashing at Chelsea.
Moyes is set to leave mid-table the East London club at the end of the season after reports that the club have held talks with former Wolves manager Lopetegui.
According to respected transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the coach has accepted West Ham’s proposal and is ready to proceed to the formal stages of negotiations.

‘‘Lopetegui has accepted the #WHUFC proposal, ready to proceed to the formal stages.
”Details are being finalized, then contracts will be signed, but an agreement is in place.’’ Romano wrote on his X-handle.
Recall that Lopetegui left Wolverhampton Wanderers of the English Premier League, along with players like Ruben Neves, because he became upset with the club’s lack of spending.
Wolves also recognized that there were “differences of opinion on certain issues” with the coach.
