Exclusive: Top West Ham Source Rubbishes Lopetegui Claims

Hammers insider insists Spanish boss is not on the club's radar

A top West Ham source has exclusively told Football Insider that the club is not interested in appointing Julen Lopetegui as their new manager.

Lopetegui, 56, is out of work after being sacked by Wolves earlier this season. The Spaniard has also managed Real Madrid, Sevilla and the Spain national team in the past.

However, our source insists that Lopetegui is not on West Ham's radar despite reports linking him with the job. The Hammers are said to be looking for a manager with Premier League experience.

Lopetegui's Premier League record is poor

Lopetegui's record in the Premier League is poor. He won just 14 of his 38 games in charge of Wolves, and his team were relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

West Ham are looking for a manager who can help them avoid a similar fate. The Hammers are currently 18th in the Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone.

West Ham have been linked with a number of managers

West Ham have been linked with a number of managers in recent weeks, including Rafael Benitez, Sean Dyche and Steven Gerrard.

However, our source insists that Lopetegui is not on the club's radar. The Hammers are said to be looking for a manager with Premier League experience, and Lopetegui does not have that.
