London, England – West Ham United are reportedly in talks with highly decorated Italian manager Max Allegri as a potential replacement for Julen Lopetegui. The Hammers’ hierarchy is considering appointing a caretaker manager until the end of the season, should they decide to part ways with Lopetegui, whose position is increasingly precarious.
Lopetegui, appointed only last summer, has overseen a disappointing run of form, winning just four of his 14 Premier League matches. West Ham currently sits 14th in the table, just three points above the relegation zone after a midweek defeat to Leicester City. His future at the London Stadium remains uncertain following his comments about focusing on the upcoming match against Wolves.
Allegri, a six-time Serie A winner with Juventus and AC Milan, is currently without a club after leaving Juventus in May. This potential move to West Ham would mark his first managerial role outside of Italy, a prospect he previously hinted at in 2019 when he revealed he was learning English. Graham Potter is another manager linked to the West Ham job.
The club’s decision will be closely watched as they aim to turn around their struggling season.
