TalkSPORT host Andy Goldstein claims that West Ham United has been informed that Thomas Frank, the manager of Brentford, would be a “unbelievable” successor for the underperforming Julen Lopetgui.
Before the Hammers made a major splash in the transfer market, the Portuguese coach took David Moyes’ place at the London Stadium over the summer, which naturally generated a lot of enthusiasm.
With the arrival of players like Max Kilman, Crysencio Summerville, Niklas Fullkrug, and Luis Guilherme in high-profile transfers, some would have anticipated a push for European football this season.
Lopetegui and his team, who are presently 14th in the Premier League rankings after losing five of their first ten games, have had a difficult start to the season.
The 58-year-old is under increasing pressure after a crushing loss to Nottingham Forest over the weekend and poor performances against Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool in the League Cup.
The former Wolves manager may face termination if the Irons leave Merseyside without a point, according to sources, and this weekend’s match against Everton at Goodison Park seems to be crucial in determining his future.
After everything Sullivan has accomplished with the Bees in recent years, talkSPORT anchor Goldstein claims that David Sullivan would find it “unbelievable” to choose Brentford’s Frank as a substitute for Lopetegui.
Since joining Brentford in 2018, Frank has guided the west London team to become a well-known Premier League team and earned promotion to the league.
One of Lopetegui’s critiques is that the style of football is not thought to be any better than it was under Moyes, but former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has praised Frank for playing “incredible” football.
