Under-fire West Ham manager Lopetegui certain he will ‘change the situation’
Manager Julen Lopetegui said on Friday he was committed to turning things around for a struggling West Ham United, as media reports said the club’s board of directors had met to decide his future.
The board decided to keep faith in Lopetegui until Monday’s Premier League clash with Wolves, the BBC reported on Thursday, after 14th-placed West Ham went down 3-1 at Leicester City earlier in the week.
“I have big commitment to my work, always, and I am very happy to stay at West Ham. We are going to change the situation,” said Lopetegui, who took over in May.
“I understand all the things around football and I understand my main aim and responsibility is to be ready for a tough, hard match.
“But in the same way, it’s a big opportunity and challenge for us at home, to be ready to achieve the three points. That is the most important thing.”
