West Ham United will have a board meeting which will be concluded ‘in the next 72 hours’ to decide the future of Julen Lopetegui, according to ExWHUemployee.
Lopetegui is now under massive pressure after West Ham were well beaten 3-1 by Leicester City on Tuesday night in the Premier League.
The Foxes got a bounce under new boss Ruud van Nistelrooy and West Ham were unable to make the chances they did create at the King Power Stadium count.
No decision has been made about Lopetegui’s future, but the club will have a board meeting to discuss it and it will be concluded ‘in the next 72 hours’ to decide his future.
West Ham are already considering who might come in to replace the Spaniard, even if that is on a short-term basis until the end of the season.
However, there is real reluctance at the club to sack Lopetegui too quickly as they are keen for him have every chance to turn things around.
The former Wolves boss only took over in the summer, succeeding David Moyes.
The final decision will come down to West Ham supremo David Sullivan, who is known to like to stick by his managers if possible.
