West Ham, from England, announced, this Thursday, the hiring of Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui from July 1st, to replace David Moyes.

“I’m very happy to be part of the future of this great club,” said Lopetegui, 57, former coach of the Spanish national team.

“We came here with the idea and the thought of making a lot of noise. We are very excited about this challenge. We will do everything we can to help the club reach its best level”, added the former goalkeeper.

West Ham vice-chairman David Sullivan said Lopetegui’s signing is “a great opportunity to build on the positive progress of recent seasons”.

The club finished ninth in the English Championship in the 2023-24 season.
