The management of West Ham United holds the belief that Lopetegui would outperform David Moyes.
Despite Moyes securing the Europa Conference League title last season, marking West Ham’s first European title in 43 years.
Apart from securing the Europa League title, Moyes’ tenure at West Ham has been less remarkable.
Last season, he guided the team to a 14th place finish in the league table, and this season, they currently sit in 9th place.
Recent games have seen David Moyes and his team struggle, managing only one win in their last nine matches.
This poor run has left the club’s management with no alternative but to part ways with Moyes.
The pinnacle of their losses this season came with a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, May 5th.
