Former Spain, Real Madrid and Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui looked to be on the verge of signing for AC Milan as their replacement for Stefano Pioli. However he has now agreed to take over at West Ham United this summer.
Lopetegui’s appointment looked almost a certainty at San Siro following months of links, but a major fan mobilisation, including the Milan ultras, against Lopetegui’s signing resulted in that process being halted, reportedly leaving the Basque manager in disbelief.
Now Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Lopetegui has agreed a deal to replace David Moyes at West Ham, bringing to an end a five-year stint for the Scotsman, who secured the Conference League for the Hammers.

moyes is a solid manager, I liked him at Everton, believed he was made a scape goat at united, where he needed patience, and these last 5 or so years at west ham have been really solid, top half finishes, Europe football, a trophy, what do the owners realistically expect, I would stick with moyes to he honest, I think he still has the dressing room and can still finish 7th.... this is from a chelsea fan who dosnt Wana play conference league next season
