In a significant development, West Ham United has terminated the contract of head coach Julen Lopetegui, amid fears of relegation.

The former Spain and Real Madrid coach struggled to deliver anticipated results, winning only three of his last 11 games. The club currently sits 14th in the Premier League standings, merely seven points above the relegation zone.

Former Chelsea coach Graham Potter is reportedly in discussions to succeed Lopetegui, after being dismissed from his role at Chelsea last year.
