West Ham appear to be edging closer to dismissing Julen Lopetegui as Head Coach.

The former Spain boss has endured an underwhelming time since his arrival in east London in the summer, with the club performing poorly for much of the season so far.

Pressure has been mounting for some time, as support for the Head Coach dwindled from the clubs hierarchy in recent weeks.

Following much talk today within the media regarding his potential imminent sacking, ExWHUEmployee has provided an update on the current state of play.

Ex contacted a top senior source and asked them whether reports of Lopeteguis sacking were true.

“The reply we have received is: Not true but on borrowed time.”

“What borrowed time translates as is anyone’s guess but it suggests he is still in post for now.

“For now the manager remains however he is does appear to be on the brink and we will update you should anything change.”
