West Ham owner holds talks with Julen Lopetegui in search for David Moyes successor
Julen Lopetegui has met with West Ham owner David Sullivan, according to talkSPORT.
Former Wolves manager Lopetegui is one of the favorites to replace David Moyes at the London Stadium when his contract expires at the end of the season.
Lopetegui, who also managed Spain, has been out of work since leaving Wolves last summer.
Meanwhile, Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim traveled to the UK on Monday for face-to-face talks with the Hammers.
The Portuguese was linked with the Liverpool job but is no longer being considered to replace Jurgen Klopp.
The club is yet to make a final decision on their next manager, as has Lopetegui who has also held discussions with AC Milan over replacing Stefano Pioli.
West Ham have yet to announce that Moyes will leave the club, but last weekend’s 5-2 defeat at Crystal Palace and their recent Europa League exit at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen appear to have added weight to that claim. .
