West Ham head coach Julen Lopetegui just summitted his resignation letter to the management….

David Moyes has been replaced as West Ham’s manager by Julen Lopetegui.

Although it appeared expected, the Irons have now officially announced the acquisition in a club statement.

The former Wolves manager, who left the Wanderers in August of last year after just nine months in command, will join West Ham as head coach for a two-year period.

Former player for Barcelona, Real Madrid, and most recently Logrones and Rayo Vallecano, Lopetegui started his coaching career in Spain’s junior system before going on to coach at the second-tier Spanish team Vallecano and the Portuguese team Porto.

After Vicente Del Bosque retired as Spain’s coach in 2016, the 57-year-old assumed the position.

but was fired two days prior to the 2018 World Cup after accepting the position as manager of Real Madrid following the competition.

The Spanish behemoths then fired Lopetegui a few months later after his tenure as manager got off to a terrible start.

In an interview with the West Ham website, Lopetegui stated that his objectives are to return West Ham to the top of the league.

“We are going to try to put our style and stamp to help the team to better achieve our aims and create a new shape of football here.”

In addition, he praised Moyes’ efforts from his second stint, saying, “I have big respect for the work of David in this club.”

According to the club, Lopetegui will collaborate with Tim Steidten, technical director. This was

a fresh strategy for the team after hiring Steidten from Bayer Leverkusen, the runners-up in the Europa League final from yesterday night.

It is acknowledged that Steidten is in charge of hiring. One of the reasons given for Lopetegui’s nine-month stay at Wolves’ termination.

Steidten stated to West Ham TV at the appointment that Lopetegui was the most exceptional applicant.

“His career shows that, wherever he has coached, he has improved players and teams, and we are looking forward to seeing him work with our squad.”

The former manager of Porto and Spain spent nine months with Wolves, guiding the team from the verge of relegation to a comfortable mid-table finish.

The 57-year-old will be faced with turning around West Ham’s fortunes now that the team is out of Europe.
